As the poser of the question, for the time being, I'm going to abstain from offering an opinion.
My point is this - whether CI is the right or wrong call - there are going to be some coaches out there who will be of the opinion that their catcher is not responsible for getting out of the way of a thrown bat. You don't think many would complain?
By saying that the umpire would catch some heat from this call was NOT my way of saying that the call is necessarily incorrect. :-)
