And on strike 3 we all know the batter is OUT.

Yes, I noted I only had the wrong book available. We're moving and my current books are packed up. Thank you for clarifying Irish's reference. I'm pretty sure the remainder of what I've been saying hasn't changed.

Yes, we all know the batter is out because it's the rule. Specifically it's two rules. One that says the batter is out if the 3rd strike is legally caught or 1B is occupied w/ less than 2 outs. One that says the batter is out if the 3rd strike hits them. You either need both or you need to change the first one to say the batter is out when they get 3 strikes and then add an exception for U3K.
