intentionally dropped foul tip

Some of these posts are getting more and more like the baseball board every day!

Shipwreck - your question has merit in theory, but it's just not gonna happen on the field. LMan ws on the right track with his response, F2 has milliseconds from the time the pitch is tipped to see R1 start to steal, think "this runner is too fast", realize the ball was tipped, and decide to drop it.

come on....closing the glove on the ball is a pure reflex action by the catcher, there is no time to process all that is happening and decide not to close the glove.

I suppose if you want an answer to your question - I would propose this:

In order to intentionally drop something, you have to have caught (controlled) it first.

Hey! That would be kinda cool! Not as cool as Superman in the OF but hey...Carrie White on your team using her special powers? Awesome! The thing is, is there anything in the book (any ruleset) that specifically covers telekenisis?

I'm guessing telekenisis is frowned upon in the Death to Infidels Association.

Well I guess I came up with this scenario because most of the topics have been covered numerous times here. Just thought I would add a little spark/fun to the discussion. Dave
