    This is Dbacks Jr. ...

    As a pitcher, I'd like to see the dropped 3rd strike go away! If a pitcher beats a hitter and strikes him out, the batter should get the base?:wtf23:

    I don't think so ... he should still have to walk back to the dugout! :twocents:

    I SECOND THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I Agree 100%, Why should the pitcher have to be distracted by that runner when he's already struck him out. Technically once that third srtike is called it should be considered a dead ball, why should the runner have the chance of advancing onn a dead ball. My close number two would be wood bats. Braves lets start a petition on TBR and see how many signatures we can get and send it to the NCHSAS in favor of wood bats and see what kind of response we can get. MAke a recommendation that next year they at least try it during the state play-offs if not the regular season and give the best teams technique wise the chance to win, not the luckiest.

    You've got to be kidding... dead ball on a third strike? No possibility of a stolen base? Come on! That's ridiculous!

    I'll go even further: 3rd strike- dead ball..and if the runner even attempts to steal he's out too....and if a coach objects- he's ejected

























    of course, I'm a former pitcher, so I may be a little biased.

























    Seriously, I understand a pitcher feeling this way...but that's baseball. Don't bounce those CB's in the dirt:D
