Uh, there is a little problem with your analysis there, Jac.
If there was no foul tip then the batter is out when he swings and misses at strike three. No such thing as “the ball is dead when it hits the ground”...unless it’s a foul ball.

[Jacquerie]

Uh, that is what occurred.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Exactly - if the ball was dead upon contact with the ground the White Sox would have never won Game 2 of the 2005 playoffs
