Base Awards?

[DrC.]

Hey guys - Hold up for a minute and let's think about this one (using some common sense). The batter swung at a ball in the dirt. It bounces off the catcher where if not accidently kicked by the BR would most likely be picked up and thrown to 1st for an out. The batter made a bad play and the catcher a nice Block. Now some of you want to award the batter another base. I say no way. I would only give him 1st base (I would strongly claim a ball from the pitchers' plate is 1 base). We award bases to the offense for a bad defensive play, not for an offensive play. I can see the defensive coach argue for Batters interference, and the next thing is you are putting him on 2nd. That's adding fuel to the fire. But that's just my opinion.....
