Hands part of bat

[Marty Rogers]

Rich: Sorry I misinterpreted ENelson's words when he twice wrote that the batter swung at the pitch. In my experience, a batter usually hits the deck (goes down quick on his butt) when trying to dodge a pitch at his head. This rarely would include a swing, even by accident. BU could be asked for help on if batter went or not.

So if it is a SWING (offer at the pitch), strike 3, batter out. If it Isn't a swing, then HBP, one run scores.

This, like many plays, needs to be seen to really know what happened. (I'm still siding with ENelson).
