Altered Bat? You make this call (or do you?).

I'd rather not comment much further on this specific incident, and there are many reasons why.

That's rich. I said I had no problem with the end-result. I wanna know how he got there.

So...which rule do you use, if you wanna go "there"?

nc452010, just giving you a fair heads up for why you might be taking a bit of fire here. We don't know you, so we're going to be a bit, well, apprehensive of you. This is a forum for officials, and quite frankly, we get plenty of trolls on here looking to **** with some umpires (like we don't hear enough sh1t during games?).

So if your intentions are good, welcome to the forum. We'll answer your questions, but until (or even if) we get to know you better, don't be surprised if we're a little wary of newcomers, and don't be surprised if our answers reflect that apprehension.

If you're a coach or player, just say so. No harm in it. If you're an umpire, introduce yourself.

Just recognize the position we're in here.
