But the problem, and subsequent arguments, that will now be prevelant will still involve the batter "stepping" into the hit the ball and end up being hit by the ball and the umpire will STILL have to make a judgment similar to whether the batter attempted to avoid a pitch or not. |
When did you become an English teacher. If you make fun, I just may become quiet for the rest of the thread
If the new language passes, then the only judgment is if the ball is in the batter's box of over the plate.
And I've never had a DC argue a LBR infraction.
