Well I can see that you handled this situation with a pure lack of any rule concepts. Then you come here and put the question to veteran umpires and coaches and completely ignore the correct answers! You are on your way to becoming a real "Smitty" there son! What's next, banging the poor little tykes out for turning left after they over run 1st base? Or maybe you'd like to give us your thoughts on the proper awards for a ball thrown out of play - it's the one he's going to plus one, right? Lord knows you must know everything there is to the DH rule in all 3 baseball codes! This mental midget doesn't realize the caliber of people he's insulting on this board!
Yeah, this Smitty really got my dander up, people! But you know what? Pi$$ on him! He's not worth our time! |
Maybe you'd better stop drinking for a few hours. It's clearly not good for you. By the way, I thought he handled the situation just fine. The batter is making a travesty of the game by putting his hands in the strikezone. Better to have him move his hands than risk suffering a broken hand. Plus as another poster suggested, this could be seen as an intent to make the pitcher balk. You're welcome.
