Can a ball in the dirt be a strike?

Yes, the operative word is after, however the original post said, "F1 throws 2 bouncer to F2 and PU calls strike"
If the batter had swung at this pitch the PU should have called a ball according to rule. Again code simply states that for delay the PU should simply call a strike every 20 seconds.
