Dropped third strike
What is the mechanic for a dropped third strike when they have to throw the guy out at first?

The PU signals the strike and the BU does his thing as needed.

Ok,
Dan let's assume that you still have failed to invest in a RULE BOOK. Let's assume that again rather than doing your own research you are asking for us to "teach" you the rule.

The rule is simple and yet complicated.

The rule is simple the mechanic can be much more difficult.

Regards,

It is easy to assume that you are a paragon of pomposity.

If you've followed the posting history of LLDan, you'd see that Tee might also be considered showing great restraint.

My advice to Tee:

Answer his question if you want to.

Ignore his question if you like.

Pretend not to be a jerk in the process.

Please see the following threads for an example of what Garth is referring to.

"First Game Experience"

"Funny Question"

Clearly Tee has indeed "turned a new leaf."

Tim, I know and understand what the rule is. I'm not 100% what the mechanic was for that, what to call, etc.

One cannot advance on a dropped third strike in Little League, can one ?

Thus, no need for a "mechanic".

Here is the "Pierzynski" thread from the ALCS last year dealing with the dropped thrid strike mechanic.

You didn't give him the answer; you just said the PU signals strike and the BU "does his thing."

San Diego Steve is the one who, FINALLY, gave the kid an actual answer to his actual question.
