The only explanation I can think of is “the letter of the
law” as opposed to “the spirit of the law” as was applied by Lee McPhail over
the pine tar incident with George Brett. The rule you quote is probably
intended to mean on the swing of the bat, not the follow through, when the
catcher’s own positioning can have an effect. At that point the rule was
unimportant as the ball had already gone through Wieter’s legs, and Wieter’s
positioning itself could be part of the problem. I don’t know if that is what
they discussed or applied, but it is one possible explanation.
