mrm -
I hadn't focused on the 3rd K aspect until now - thanks for the J/R example showing the similarity b/t FED & OBR in this case. I zoned in on the part that stated F2 "is entitled to an uninterrupted opportunity to field the ball. Once the batter swings, he is responsible for his follow-through." -- it seemed illogical that the batter should be penalized w/an out b/c of F2's inability to catch the ball -- how is the batter supposed to guess where the ball might end up and avoid it?? {rhetorical question}.
My BRD is at home - I'll check it tonight and post any clarification/correction it may have...thanks!
