I would make my call different. But in OBR rules, it is pretty clear, must attempt to avoid the ball. I take it to heart. To say no one told the pitcher to throw in the BB is simply silly, Just cause no one told the batter to swing at a pitch in the dirt should I change the rules to suit them??
How about this a change-up lets say 60 MPH thrown at a teams 3rd batter comes into the BB bases loaded and the player stands their and lets the ball hit him. You think that should be a HBP and an RBI?? I don't that is just a waste, make an attempt to move. It is simply lazy not to make a half hearted attempt to get out of the way and earn your bag. Play the game by the rules.
I know I'm in the minority on my opinion, but it is my pet peeve about the game. It is not hard to make the attempt and still get hit, people have made careers out of it. Look at Coach from Cheers, LOL.
