Here's another "Questions with Dado". Right now I'm on the baseball train because that takes up a lot of my brain (and my dad and I talk a lot of baseball).
So maybe the questions will change in November...when baseball's over for the year.

Question:
how do you score a 3rd strike when they run (and are out) at first? and why do they run to first?
Answer:
If the catcher doesn't catch the ball on a third strike, the runner can try and get to first before he is thrown out - doesn't happen very often. If they don't beat the throw to first, I don't think the scoring is any different. If they do, I think its an error or passed ball. I never thought about it before, but the other day, I heard something that made me wonder if the pitcher still got credit for a strikeout even though no out was made.
