...Batters getting hits...BY PITCHES...

[Bainer]

In this weekend's tourney, I had the Friday night doubleheader. In the first game, my plate game, a player got hit THREE times by pitches- all legit. I assumed that something would ensue, but didn't.
Saturday, I have that team again, again I'm behind the plate, and AGAIN he gets beaned thrice!
Sunday evening, same team, I'm at third- BONK! BONK! BONK!

At this point, I realize something is up. I alert the other umps to the situation.

Monday afternoon Semi-Final, I'm at 2nd- 1st inning PLUNK! no problem.
3rd inning PLUNK! Ump calls him back. Ends up striking out.

After the tourney, we ask the manager- "what's going on?"
Coach says- "That's his thing. 35+ times this year! Today was only the second time he's been called back!"

What do you say to that?
