Gotta give 'em a break. It may not be his fault. He is from a state where, from what I understand, they are letting teams use whatever bats they please in Championship Play (ASA). There is the belief there that the 52/300 balls will be the difference which if you have seen them in play, seems to be different than what people believe.

While this makes players happy (but not *****-free ), I think it is a great disservice to the teams, umpires and the game, in general.
