My final answer.
All you knowers say that the ball is dead between innings. A multitude of reasons have been given but none of them have any basis in the rules. Nobody knows when the ball is dead.
People say that a new inning starts as soon as the third out is made. So can you get a retroactive out in the new inning and move it back to the previous inning. Apparently you can as a fourth advantageous out is allowed under the rules.
So rather than make all these mysterious rules up of when a ball is dead just give it up and leave the ball alive between innings. Rest in peace. G.
