Is it now a citation for the batter being out with three strikes? I know it's three strikes, you're out at the old ball game; but if it's not 7-4-H supposing I asked for a rule citation for that proposition.

Shouldn't that be hit with a pitched ball? Or maybe I've just lost my way in this long, drawn out string.

Talk about beating a dead ball.
