Okay, we'll do the PC thing and use a euphemism: "The batter was only trying to gain an unfair advantage over the defense."

I feel so liberated now!

Just like a hidden ball trick.

Or maybe a deke that keeps a runner from going first to third.

Glad to hear you never drive over the limit.

When I drive fast, I am not gaining an unfair advantage over an opponent. I'm merely getting somewhere quicker.

The hidden ball trick is designed to fool the opponent. Letting a pitch hit you is designed to fool the umpire. That's where I come in. My name is Friday. I carry a badge. Dum-da-dum-dum...dum-da-dum-dum-dum!
