A question came up. The "new" rule says that a batter does not have to avoid if HBP within the batters box. The batter, while trying to avoid the pain anyway, moves the bat forward. Do we count that as an attempt to hit or does the "in the batters box" rule take precedence?
I think we discussed this before, but I can't figure out what to search for.

Was she making an attempt at the pitch? Just moving the bat forward while avoiding being hit doesn't necessarily constitute an attempt.
