The repercussion isn't different. Dead ball strike no matter what. No different than a swing and miss. (Except the dead ball part)When during the game
The repercussion to breaking the rule is different pending the count,
The umpire will be put in the position to reiterate what the rule says.
With this count~this happens
With that count~that happens
My question is why?
WHY would the repercussion need to be different?
There are other times rules change pending situations on the field. Example infield fly rule.
Atleast thats explainable.
Or can swing and hit as many foul balls as you want
But trying to bunt with 2 strikes and goes foul its an out.
But with two strikes can still do a push/slash bunt and confuse the issue cuz bat comes forward.
Can anyone explain why this new version of out of the box flucuates pending the count?
(maybe i missed reading a great answer to that?)
It just so happens that a strike in a 2 strike count is an out but again same with a swing and miss
