Defensive coach asks for time and tells me...."the rule is when a batter squares to bunt he gives up the right to be hit by the pitch"...........

Just when you think you've heard them all........

As soon as I read that I thought of a situation I had that was just like that. Batter squares, pitch is inside, gets him on the knee. Defensive coach tells me he squared so he isn't allowed to go to first. I tell coach he pulled it back as he was getting out of the way, shut him right up (luckily).
