He didn’t strike out. He walked, and Ruiz threw to first under the mistaken impression that Phillips checked swing was called a strike. Watch the video. The home plate umpire appeals to first, and first ump signals safe, meaning no swing and a walk.

When was the last time you saw Say Anything? I don’t think it holds up considering Lloyd basically stalks Diane after she gives him that pen. It reads a lot creepier now than it did in 1989.
