Reply to "Dropping ball on purpose to get a double play"

Judgement call as to if it was dropped intentionally or not. 

However ... You cannot intentionally drop a ball.  Immediate dead ball. batter out. Runner returns to base at TOP.

Rule 5 Dead Ball - Suspension of Play SECTION 1 DEAD BALL ART. 1 . . . Ball becomes dead immediately when:

j. an infielder intentionally drops a fair fly, fair line drive or fair bunt in flight with at least first base occupied and with less than two outs.
