Because manufacturers vary their production techniques so much, it really takes an expert eye to know what's right and what's wrong about a bat. A lot of bat doctors are picassos when it comes to the exterior, but aren't nearly as cautious about the insides of a bat. The pictures I posted a little bit ago are examples of that.

An accusation of using an altered bat is EXTREMELY serious. If it's quite obvious to me that work has been done on a bat, then I'm less hesitant to toss someone over it. If I'm not 110% certain of it, I just collect the pieces and let better-trained individuals handle the situation.

Tread lightly, my friend. Erroneously pointing the finger at someone and saying "you cheat" can come back to bite ya.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

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