Passed third strike that isnt?
Umpire-Empire locks topics which have not been active in the last year. The thread you are viewing hasn't been active in 1621 days so you will not be able to post. We do recommend you starting a new topic to find out what's new in the world of umpiring.
Question
Blue19
Runners at 1st and 3rd, 1 out, 3-1 count. Batter swings at ball in dirt, catcher missed ball and it goes to back stop. Batter runners to first base like it was 3rd strike. Both runners advance on play scoring a run. Plate umpire calls ball dead and sends all runners back to their respective bases. Head coach argues that runners should be allowed to advance, at their own risk. Defensive coach argues it was an attempt to deceive the defense. What do you do, how do you administer it?

This is a mistake by the umpire. It's the players responsibility to know the count and the situation. Run scores. Batter comes back to the plate. 3-2 count.

If I have a batter running to first on strike 2, I’m verbalizing “strike two”. Just like I verbalize “batter’s out” when he runs on a D3K with 1b occupied <2 outs.

Allow the runners to advance; bring the batter back with a 3-2 count.
