3. If they did, I am fairly certain that the bat-mitt contact preceded the bat-ball contact.
4. Foul would only be the correct call if the bat-ball contact preceded the bat-mitt contact. (Maybe you saw it differently than I, and I saw it wrong. Like I said, I can't tell for sure from the video.)
5. Who (of the players) "screwed up" here?
6. Who should be held liable?
7. How?

There is much to be gained (or little) from reviewing slo mo replay, numerous times, from an angle the HP umpire does not have. None of us have that luxury. I say FOUL, because that is what was called, ball hit bat before bat hit glove, in the opinion of HP umpire.
This is frivolous discussion. None of us have access to slo mo from another angle, before making a call.
