intentionally dropped ball

[steveshane67]

i just came across this in the rule supplement

30. INTENTIONALLY DROPPED BALL.
The ball cannot be intentionally dropped unless the fielder has actually
caught it, and then drops it. Merely guiding the ball to the ground is not an
intentionally dropped ball.

if its 1st and 2nd 0 out, and a soft liner hit to SS, who bats it down/never closes their glove around it/lets it bounce off the palm of the glove... thats not an IDB situation??? it seems to go against the spirit of the rule (the same principle behind the IFF rule)

maybe the rule should be changed to intentionally not caught.....

on a side note, i coulda had a triple play a few months ago apparently.
