So, if I understand you correctly, in instances where the defensive team cannot pitch; the ball is dead. Thus, again, if I understand you correctly, the ball is dead after a batter strikes out and another batter is coming to the plate because by rule the pitcher cannot pitch during that lacuna. I hope I don't understand you correctly.
