I have been pondering on this for a couple days now. From the original post, "Curveball comes in, does not break". How do we know it's a curveball if it don't break? Is this an assumption because the pitch was slower? How do we know it wasn't a change that slipped out of the pitcher's grip?
If a batter stands in the box, doesn't move a muscle, and gets hit, he stays in the box (unless it is college game). I don't buy that deer in the headlights argument. If he makes any effort, even a feeble one, he goes to 1B. I have had some lean a thigh into an inside curveball, and they stay too. It was early last year since I have kept a batter in the box and it was twice in the same game by the same batter, and both times he leaned a thigh into the ball. The second time I told him "I don't believe you did that again".
