could be that these batters were looking to bunt early in the count. the high-tech bats are not good for bunting, so they will have a dead bat for bunting. when the situation changes from bunt to swing, there is a need to change bats.

player still needs to request - and be granted - time for this.

Is a dead bat like a dead ball?

In my experience, most of the batters who want to change bats in "midstream" seem to be doing it for reasons of comfort. They don't like the grip; they want a heavier bat or a lighter bat, etc. Must be a quirky Canadian thing.

Just kidding!

What part were you kidding about? That they are quirky or that no one would think they are quirky?
