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.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
