Drop-third strike
I'm not confused with the rule itself, but why they have it in... is beyond me.
Also, I'd like to know what an attempted swing actually is. And two more also strike my mind... bunting foul with two strikes, foul-tipping into the glove with two strikes... I'd like to know why those are strikeouts.

Infield fly rule
Now, some balk moves I don't understand, but the ones where they appear that the pitcher is going to the plate is the kind that I understand when they're called (especially the left-handed 45* one).
Now, the infield fly rule isn't always in the infield, that's probably what confuses you. The infield fly rule is made specifically so that the defense can't produce a cheap double play (or triple play). The way it works is if there is any pop up that looks like it would be possible for an infielder to miss the ball at the last minute, only to get the force outs at third and second base (remember, most smart baserunners would hold at the bags on a pop up), then it will be called by the umpire.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Dropped third strike with a runner on first
Ground rule double vs home run when a ball hits part of the roof while in the field of play.
The next base plus one.
And some people have a hard time understanding rule 21 B regarding gambling in baseball and that it does in fact mandate a lifetime ban (yes im talking about all those Pete Rose fanboys).Comment
