Aced by Steffi Graf, Paige Miller said to Greg Caliri:
 PM> called is during an intentional walk (even if "intentional walk" is not
 PM> defined in the book). To quote 4.03(a) in its entirety:
 PM> "The catcher stall station himself directly back of the plate. He may
 PM> leave his position at any time to catch a pitch or make a play except
 PM> that when the batter is being given an intentional base on balls, the
 PM> catcher must stand with both feet within the lines of the catcher's box
 PM> until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. PENALTY: Balk."
 PM> The second sentence indicates that except for an intentional walk, the
 PM> catcher may pretty much do as he pleases to make a play.
I'm no pro, but I absolutely agree with you.
BTW, didn't we have this extended discussion a few months ago?  8-)
