When all you paragons of virtue are done sniping at each other, please note, there is no such thing as a dropped third strike. The proper terminology is, a third strike not caught.
Also, rule books don't include mechanics. There is no specific mechanic for a third strike not caught.
1..The B/R attempts to reach 1B.
2..The catcher retrieves the ball, and throws to 1B in an attempt to retire the B/R.
3..The BU makes a 'safe' or 'out' call.
Fairly simple.
