Hey Dave, don't bring any macho crap into this. I have a total body stitch count of well over a hundred. I have done my job bleeding, exhausted, in great pain, and in need of surgery. I don't fear being hit and I have a pain thresh-hold that is better than most.
A catcher has one job and one job only and that is to be in front of that ball with his glove, his equipment or his body. If he vapor locks and doesn't move even a bit to that ball, he gets to make that mistake ONCE!
It happens again and it is intentional, whether he professes to have had a brain fart or not. He is getting tossed and if the manager has any problems with it, he'll go right after him. If you believe after a second occurence that the kid didn't do it intentionally, well... you know!

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
