Mike - what if it was not only an honest attempt to hit the ball, but a successful one too? Are you saying that if the ball hit the ground just before an unsuccessful honest attempt to hit the ball, you call a strike, but if the ball hit the ground just before a successful attempt to hit the ball, it's a ball?
I don't have an answer here - but it seems that at the very least these two situations need to be called consistently with each other.
