un dead ball
As long as we are discussing "uns", what about this?
1) Batted ball to RF corner, appears to bounce past end of fence to dead ball territory. Dead ball called. Offense says it stayed in play. Ump checks and the spot he saw was in play, so should not have been dead.
2) As above, but fielder picks up ball and starts to throw it in, then drops it when DC yells to leave it alone.
It seems nothing can be done to correct either case, but what do you think?
