Had a situation a couple days ago where the pitcher bumped into a fielder and ended up with a bloody nose.
I was unaware of it until the pitcher came to the mound for the next half inning. He had tissue in the bleeding nostril and some white tissue paper or gauze hanging out about the size of a dime... maybe. It surely couldn't have been mistaken for a baseball but it was a little distracting. Nobody said anything but when I first saw it I thought, "What would I do if someone complained and said it was distracting?" I think I would have said tough luck batter, suffer through it. Anyone else have thoughts about something so trivial but yet, slightly distracting?

Bleeding Pitcher
If the nose still needed the tissue, it was still bleeding, otherwise, have it removed. If it was still bleeding,(according to FED rules at least) Rule 3.1.6 prohibits him from participation until APPROPRIATE treatment is administered. A white tissue up the nose (In my opinion) is not enough.
In today's society, with all those blood borne pathogens, I remove anyone that is bleeding until the bleeding has stopped. If the tissue is distracting enough for you, its distracting to the batter! (JMHO)
