Last night I was working the plate and I saw a "what if" situation that could have made for an interesting conversation with the offensive manager.

Situation:

Base hit to CF, R2 comes around to score. The throw was off line and the ball bounces about 10 feet to the right of the LH batter's box. As F2 picks up the ball and throws to 2B to get the B/R rounding 1B, R2 who scores just misses getting hit in the head by F2's throw as he bends down to grab the bat and jogs into his dugout, having no clue how close he was to getting hit in the side of the head by F2's throw continues on to his dugout. My question to you is...let's say that the stars align and F2's throw hits R2 (who already scored) in the helmet as he's trying to retire B/R at 2B. What, if anything would you call?
