Where is the out recorded? And who leads off next inning? As soon as it became a dropped third strike, it became a force at third base, and the third baseman WAS touching the base when he took the throw....hmmm....

I love this game -

JJ, what an amazingly unique and previously unthought of situation (see above!!!)

I would say, since it was not called a strike orginally (Appeal afterwards), the out would be by the guy thrown out at second, and batter is back up next inning.

Then you would be wrong.

Do you have any rules basis for saying such a thing? Or any defense for it if protested?

Let's expand it a bit to further illustrate the point. Make it R1 and R3, a double steal. R1 holds up long enough for R3 to score, and R1 is then tagged. The defense then appeals the swing, and batter is called out. Do you score the run? (Of course not ... because the BR was the 3rd out ... same as if R3 did not exist.)

Then he'll get ejected just like anyone else who argues balls and strikes.

Sack up and do your job.

Check swing is easy call from A, B, C, or D. But some can't see a batter standing on the plate when making contact with a pitch. Holy cow!

I'm not looking for it. There's a difference.

I'm not looking for it either, but I can't miss it when I see it, it's right there in front of me and I am locked in and perfectly still. When the batter plants his foot on the plate the out call if he makes contact is far more important than a strike or ball call anyway.

How about we just leave it at the umpires who would call it, call it, and the umpires that would not call it, don't. This argument is getting tired.
