Ball hits hands.....

[blindofficial]

Batter gets hit in the hands (batter did swing) and ball goes fair.. Dead ball, correct? GarthB says it's fair and I disagree with him.

LOL.....your original post got cited before you went back and changed it. You said it was fair originally, not him. Good try though.

Might be correct, except for 1 detail...the batter swung at the pitch.

PWL:

Please tell me your answer is a delayed April Fool's Day joke? I only umpire using NFHS rules and NFHS R5-S1-A1a1 states: [The] "Ball becomes dead immediately when a ptich touches a batter or his clothing (R8-S1-A1d, a runner (R8-S3-A1a); The ball becomes dead even though the batter strikes at it (R8-S1-A1d). Furthermore, NFHS Casebook Play 5.1.1 Situation E states: "On the third strike, B3 swinga at and misses a ptich. The ball touches his arm or person. RULING: B3 is out. The ball becomes dead immediately. (R5-S1-A1a[1], R8-S1-A1d)

And I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that the rule is also the same for both NCAA and MLB.

That would be an "ouch" strike. Ball is dead. Please tell me everyone knows this...

Pathetic. Even LittleBoyBlue hasn't stooped to this (yet).

Nice try, however:

1. Everyone can read my non-edited post and see what I actually said.

2. I copied your original post in my post, so everyone can see what you actually said.

Wow. First LittleBoyBlue makes it obvious that he's not a kid starting out but an anonymous troll, and now you lay out the evidence in your case.

Here's a hint for your next try: You gotta be smarter than your keyboard.

Blind you must be so embarrassed about now, eh?
