Can you abandon your at bat?

[FullCount]

KJump, maybe it's just me but your tone and insistent manner of addressing this seems a bit over the top. I'm just lurking on the board reading the threads but my reaction to your responses is "Wow," is he the assignor or evaluator for the OP? And if so wouldn't it be better to address some of this in private? Just seems kind of harsh and demanding of someone who is on here trying to learn from a situation. I've been in the situation where a different batter came up in the middle of an at-bat and I didn't notice. So glad this sit was posted and am also learning from the discussion. Guess I don't want to see folks hit so hard they won't come on here and post.
