What's the difference between strike 3 and an out ?
because it's a rule that if you swing and miss for strike 3 and the ball hits the dirt the catcher has to tag you for an official out, which the catcher didn't do, so it's a strikeout "officially" but not an out

It happens alot, but because it's the post season they're gonna make a big deal out of it.
