This thread began with collinb saying:
Did anyone see the Cubs vs Astro's game Sunday where Cub announcer Steve Stone was explaining that the hands are part of the bat and the hitter should not get first base when hit in the hands?
Chad responded with nothing more than: well, that depends on whether the pitch was struck at or not.
He was clearly referring to the latter portion of Chad's comment ... about the batter being awarded first.
To interpret Chad's response as meaning, "The hands are part of the bat if the pitch was struck at" is simply a ludicruous conclusion to reach unless you're predisposed, by bias, to believe that's what he meant.
It never occurred to me that is what he meant. And, deep down, I think others knew it as well.
