I posted this a different thread…
This is just a stupid rule that I’ve never understood anyway. Just seems like a made up rule by little leaguers 100 years ago.
And to add, he didn’t drop it, it bounced several feet in front of him. So technically speaking if the pitcher rolled the ball all the way home and the batter swings you still have to throw him out at first. I just don’t get the need to for that rule.

Add me to this list. I don’t understand this rule at all. If it’s a strike, it’s a strike. If it’s strike 3, then batter is out. Period.

Such a pathetic melt to blame the rules of baseball. The rule is fine and discourages pitchers from throwing way out of the zone when a hitter is trying to protect the zone with 2 strikes. You throw the ball in the dirt you have to live with the consequences. This time it didn’t go our way.
