I have no problem refusing a ridiculous request. You know the barely take the bat off their shoulder flinch that gets a request. At least under NF Rules it is not an obligation for a PU to ask for a check swing and I adhere to that when necessary. I do not give a rat's “patoot” what the coaches think. I have no problem asking for help if the bat is clearly out there, but not when the request is bogus. NCAA is a different story and is required by the rules.
