well, THERE's a new one

If you are offering at a pitch, then your hands are a part of the bat. Nothing more needs to be discussed.

I saw this play in real time. From the outfield camera it seemed that he had offered at the pitch and hit a foul ball.

Now lets still think in real time. As I was watching the play, I could hear a distinctive "TING" as the ball hit the bat. No matter if the batter was pulling the bat back or not that to me is a foul ball. If the batter had actually been hit you would not hear a "Ting" of the bat, you would hear a "thud" from the sound of the hand and the ball would not fly as far as it did. That ball went flying, again another sign it did not hit his hand. I learned this a while back in a Sophs game. Stop, Look and Listen, its not only for crossing Train Tracks.

Now actually I think they got the call correct when they all got together. However I can see why the OK coach got pissed off when PU reversed the call and brought his batter back to the plate.
