Hit by Pitch Rule

[mcrowder]

Most leagues putting this in think they are doing it for safety reasons...

But in MOST games, the "better" pitcher is out there the majority of the time. If this girl throws 3 pitches that miss the inside corner by just a few inches, you want her gone? Good grief. Now you've got the crappy pitcher in there - and MORE kids will get hit (or we'll get to watch a walkathon).

I agree 1000% with AtlUmp - why penalize just one player for struggling when there are no rules to penalize anyone else on the field.
