Personally I have never understood that rule. If the pitcher misses the strike zone so badly that the ball is going to hit me, why should I have to try to get out of the way? Really it just doesn't make any sense. Can anyone name me any other rule where the offended team is responsible for trying to help the offending avoid the penalty?
Now, if I do something as a hitter to cause the ball to hit me, then yes I can see saying batter stay right here and keep hitting. But if the batter does nothing to contribute to it I just don't see why they should be responsible for trying to avoiding it.
I know "that's just the rule", all I am saying is that I think the rule or the interpretaion need to be re-evaluated.
