    Didn’t watch the game. How did it look?

    Cisco battled Cole to 3-2, fouled a couple pitches off, and then hit a hanging, outside slider over the fence down the left field line.  It was a fine at bat.

    • A foul tip is a pitched ball that skips off the bat and goes "sharp and direct" to the catcher's glove "and is legally caught." That the ball is caught is the cornerstone of the definition of a foul tip.
    • A foul tip is always a strike; and, unlike a foul ball, a foul tip can result in strike three.
    • A foul tip is a live ball. Runners can advance (steal) at their peril.
    • If the catcher does not catch the ball, then it's a foul ball (dead ball). Period. For clarity, let's call this a tipped foul ball.
    • If a tipped foul ball is caught by the catcher after the ball hits his mask (for example), his chest, or anything else except his hand or glove, then it is not a foul tip, but a foul ball.
    • Once a tipped foul ball hits the catcher or umpire and (let's say) pops up into the air, it cannot be caught for an out. It's a dead ball because the catcher and umpire are stationed in foul territory. It's the same as a fly ball that hits a backstop or fence. The ball is dead and play has ended.
    • The mechanic for a foul tip is to brush the back of your left hand with your right hand in an exagerated motion, then give the strike signal.

    It makes more sense on strike three to me than at other times for some reason.  The proper play would have been for Cisco to drop the ball intentionally.

    Solid effort.  I thought he was done in the 5th. Not a lot of room for error with his stuff, but he got through it.

    I know it's no sure thing, but I can't help mentally penciling in 3 of our 5 rotation spots on Opening Day 2022 with these guys.
