Correct Call?

Well Gawdamm. What a stupid argument. You both know the freakin rule. You both agree that the ball is both not caught and not uncaught, and that the next action by this girl catcher who has sneaked onto the baseball field is crucial to the answer to the question.

So why the heck are you arguing? Good grief.

To answer the original post, the correct call is "Strike". Call the out when it becomes an out (when our oddly gendered F2 gains possession).

Yes DG does understand that the ball is caught. That is not what I am trying to tell him.

He does not understand what in flight means, and he claims that it is not definied in the OBR.

That's simply wrong. I think that's really the only point LDUB is trying to make.

I have to side with him, because, you know, words mean things.

OK, I yield, BY RULE ONLY, because a ball wedged between a player's knees is not in flight in the real world.

It is in flight in the real world.

It is not in flight in fan speak, and that is it.

If you are a real baseball official, you would realize that the ball is in flight.

What is next? Saying that managers and coaches are the same thing in the "real world"?
