Now now now
Relax, I refuse to believe that anyone who has played the game can stand in and take a pitch off the arm, leg . . . without attempting to move unless the believe they can gain from it. I don't care if the wait till the last second before flinching, but standing stone still letting the ball hit them and then start trotting of to first. That is BS and I believe you know it to. Must not have the gumption to call it though. Oh well that happens I guess. Rules are meant to be broken. This only happens maybe 2 a season out of 25-40 HBP, so tell me why have the rule at all, just change it to read if hit, the batter must not throw their body infront of the pitch, otherwise tough luck for the pitcher. In the NCAA the rule is more defined and therefore deals with my pet peeve and I would lovingly give batters the bag, in the rest, sorry but the rule is specific too. 98% of the time it's a bag, but this does not mean blindly give bags for fun and pleasure.
