What do you tell the defensive coach (OBR or FED game) when he complains that the batter did not try to get out of the way of the pitch, when he doesn't move at all? "Uh, that's a rule I am not going to enforce because I don't like it."

"Tell your pitcher not to throw it there and we wouldn't be having this conversation."
I'm serious -- I use this line at least once a year.
