I feel that this is telling a coach to alter the bat and then allowing it in.

What is the feeling in here on this?
I agree with you. No umpire should ever tell a coach that he should take a hammer to a bat. If anything, send it back to the manufacturer.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
