Geez, I guess we need to keep teaching kids to pull the bat back so the umpire won't think he's trying to make contact and to avoid a strike call. That just perpetuates the myth though that you have to pull the bat back to avoid an attempt. The rule says that you have to make an offer at the pitch, not that you have to make an attempt to not offer at the pitch. I suppose the hands are still part of the bat. I'm not trying to be condescending, as i definitely don't have enough experience to do so, but this kind of thread is frustrating to read.
