Sorry for rehashing this, but I can't find any other threads that don't bore me to death. I could not post in the closed thread that's about Ozzy's so-called rude response.

First, just what rule set are you playing by that would allow you to tell a batter where he can place his hands? The pitcher can't see F2's target? Call the waaaaaaaaambulance. Throw the ball at the batter's hands, then.

Second, Ozzy merely questioned where the "crazy questions" (well, it was) come from and did not insult you, and in fact he went out of his way to clarify that he wasn't trying to insult anyone.

Third, rookies should never tell veterans when to retire. It just ain't right.
