Sorry Mr. Moose, this Rocky and the most of the flying squirrels in this neighborhood DO check immediately when that check swing happens on drop 3rd stirke situation. We know what the results are if we don't. It comes with training. At least in the HS and adult ball that I call it happens.
Occassionally I will run into a UIC who blows mechanic and my career has not been flawless either, but if you're in a bind, and BR stood at home, you've got to eat the call. If UIC didn't call strike (which he would have if he thought it was a swing) you must agree with him if you are BU and forget the strike. Too late to change to strike. It is your error as a crew that can put runner in jeopardy at that point, and you should not do that. Discuss later so both are aware of problem and to assure situation doesn't arise again without using right mechanic. Learn from mistakes.
Just what i have been taught,
Chalk this one up as just another sheet on that toilet paper roll of life,
