Less than 2 outs, runner on 1st, anything and 2 count on the batter. Runner takes off in an obvious steal attempt. batter swings and misses (or called 3rd strike) but ball obvilusly short hopps the catchers glove. Catcher throws down to 2nd and runner is safe (or out). Is this a dropped third strike? Does the R-1 obviously leaving the base open the door for the batter-runner to take advantage of a dropped third strike?
