If the ruling had been that the ball was caught cleanly, what would Eddings have done differently on that play, if anything?
Should the umpire tell or signal to the BR that he is out if he is out? Seems like a straightforward question, but what if there had been a man on first there (and less than two outs)? Gets a lot more complicated. Telling him he's out there could give a real advantage to a catcher who doesn't know the rules who might otherwise make a bad decision that lets the runner advance a base.
Seems like third dropped strike scenarios can get really tricky.
