My partner then comes to me and asks how come I did not rule her out automatically? I answered "because the ball hit the ground...dropped third strike rule." He looked at me with a puzzled face and then stated, "No, dropped third strike is when the catcher DROPS the third strike, not when it hits the ground. If she catches it, she didn't drop it. So it's not a dropped third strike."
My head hurt for a while after I heard that one.
Anyone have funny, weird, interesting, crazy, bad or other situations that you have had happen with a partner? I have a few more I'll share soon... |
And yet, even on this forum it is more often D3K instead if U3K.
