I remember this being discussed here before.
Somewhere in the ASA manual we are told that on a D3K where 1B is occupied to give a verbal "batter is out". I do this when the batter attempts to run after a D3K when no advance is possible. (either a POE, or in the umpire manual section)
In all other instances, I call the third strike in the normal way, then just wait to see what happens. Either an attempt to advance will happen, or batter will enter the dugout. There is nothing to signal, the batter is neither safe nor out, nor is there a DDB situation.
What do you do if that D3K gets loose and goes into dead ball territory?
