Thank Bluefoot!
Bluefoot, thanks for your reply
 I will be asking my locals about that because I'm almost 100% sure that we had a courtesy last year. As for AtlUmpSteve and IRISHMAFIA, are you on here to help people or just to be a jerk? Next time please ask Bluefoot for the answer before you post anything, maybe you could learn something.  Back atcha

One night a week, we use the 1 & 1 count rule where the batter comes to bat with a 1 ball and 1 strike count. They get a courtesy foul. In your situation, you would still have 2 strikes and no more fouls to give. Next foul ball and you would be out. Check to make sure your local rule didn't change over the winter.
BTW, you shouldn't be swinging at bad pitches in the first place.

Same rule we have here, NDblue, except it applies for all games. The initial 1-1 count takes a little getting used to ... it hangs me up the first couple games of every season ... I have to remember to set the indicator to 1-1 instead of 0-0 every new AB.
And I've learned to handle that courtesy foul by verbally warning the batter after the first one "no more fouls for you" (I feel like the soup Nazi!) F2 picks it up, lets F1 know ... everybody's happy.

NO, I don't have to call anyone names! I was just asking if that is how he act with everyone and if so then he could learn a thing or two from bluefoot about how to answer a question, without sounding so rude
 However with two strikes on you, I am not the kind of person to go down looking so I will swing at what I think may or maynot be a bad pitch...my fault for hitting it off foul and not knowing the strike/foul count.... SORRY for the question I though that is what this forum was for.......
