Good Lord. The hands are NEVER part of the bat. It doesn't matter whether the pitch was struck at or not. When the pitch hits any part of the batter's body, no matter what the batter was doing, the ball is dead. Dead is dead.

He never said the hands are part of the bat.

My reading comprehension indicates that he is making the accurate point that SHOULD a batter be hit by a pitch, that he would NOT be awarded 1st if he offered at the pitch.

C'mon, Garth - certainly you can do better than this in your desperate quest to find missteps by those you don't like.
