I guess it going to take some serious bat throwing incidents to move you guys.
Local leagues will adopt the changes after word gets OUT.
Good thing you keep UP with the rule changes.

What? Now the catcher is blocking the plate without the ball. Serious bat throwing warrants an ejection
not an out! Really SA, you're going from the
sublime to the
ridiculous to the absolutely
absurd. Flailing, flailing on the baseball field. Good job!
ROFLMAO!!

6.06(c)
If a batter strikes at a ball and misses and swings so hard he carries the bat all the way around and, in the umpire's judgment, unintentionally hits the catcher or the ball in back of him on the backswing before the catcher has securely held the ball, it shall be called a strike only (not interference). The ball will be dead, however, and no runner shall advance on the play.

You cite a rule that confirms my observation. Do you have your sites on twisting these words around too. Remember to place the runners back to TOP and NO they can't score a RUN in this manner, either.
Didn't I cite this to you
earlier in this thread?
Talk about
not reading the whole thread. This cite is
closer to what
actually happened but still doesn't apply. Did
you fall down and hit your
head? Maybe it's the
psychotropic drugs your
therapist is prescribing for you. You really shouldn't
abuse those you know.
