That is partially my fault. As the originator of this thread, I was originally intending to the make the count 3-2 on the batter, ergo the thread title, "Awkward strikeout".
I then decided to make the count 3-1 so as to not needlessly complicate the scenario by dealing with a strikeout ... which was not the point of the post. But I forgot to change the title of the thread to agree with the scenario.
The issues remain unchanged, however.
