    I take issue with your explanation of #38. ON a 3-2 count, the next pitch is either the third strike or the fourth ball. If it is a strike, the batter is out. If it is a ball, the batter walks. If a runner gets thrown out stealing in the process, the batter should still get credit for the walk (if the runner was stealing second, it wouldn't be an out anyway on the fourth ball). Either way, the batter does not come up again next inning.

    Are you saying the batter is not credited with a walk on the fourth ball if a runner is thrown out in the process AFTER the fourth ball has already been issued?

    Thanks
    Terry
