FP hit by pitch

[Tru_in_Blu]

I have no brothers. Don't have a cousin named Brad that I'm aware of.

I've called the HBP scenarios in games. I was just trying to qualify the call. And, yes, I look at the rules too literally at times, which may be the obverse of reading too much into the rules.

All the houses on B Street are made of brick.
John lives in a house on B Street.
Ergo, John lives in a brick house.

FP: A pitch that hits home plate is called a ball and is a live ball.
A pitch that hits a batter [not in the strike zone] is a dead ball.
Ergo, a pitch that hits home plate and then hits a batter is a live/dead ball.

Yeah, warped logic.
