I might not have had such a conversation with the umpire if a high 70s fastball drilled me in the bicep. For anyone that has been hit by a pitch and not given 1st base, no matter the situation, is enough to piss you off.
Then make an attempt to get out of the way. Then you will not have to worry about it.

But I have seen coaches go nuts over a curve ball hitting their batter and they moved into the pitch. So who cares what their reaction is.

I know what you are saying, but I did try to get out of the way. That's why I hit the deck. The ball would have hit me square in the stomach, put I just reacted and moved in a way where it hit my arm.
