Appreciate you being facetious for no reason. I was giving a recap of an officiating rule and a heads up play by a MLB player.

Good one. In the case of a batted ball lodged in the OF fence...as an umpire I know my 'heads up play' on that one. Keep my hands down! Don't kill it unless the player puts his hands up first. I am too far away to know for sure.

I don't kill it at all, Chris. If it's lodged, the ball is dead by rule without me killing it, and we put the runners back. If not, it's a live ball.

Don't kill it even if the player does put his hands up. Let things play out then go check. If it's lodged - put folks back. If it isn't the play stands. But don't let the player make the call.

Mark Reynolds knows the rules

Savvy Mark Reynolds, after swinging and missing the pitch on a 2-2 count instantly realized that he now had three strikes. Drawing from his knowledge of the rules, Reynolds concluded that he was "out" and, without direction from the umpire, went to his dugout and sat down.

But, most of us (99.9% of those here) know the rule and the application and would apply it without the LARGE picture and cut-and-paste of the story. I, too, am a little confused by why you posted it. Heck, you could post "jenkins takes called third strike to end inning" and post the rules about when a batter is out and when a (half) inning is over.
