You cannot deny the batter the opportunity to hit a pitch just because it's 2 feet ourside.

Rich, he can throw the bat at a pitch 10 feet off the plate. Are you going to call that CI if the bat hits the catcher?

The rules more explicity cover the pitch while its in the strike zone. At what point are we to start using common sense here.
