You're correct, I've not seen it.

The thought of a 40-50 MPH pitch coming in and striking an uncontrolled bat in mid-air right in front of a catcher is, well, unnerving.

If discarding the bat in that manner to hit the ball hinders the catcher from making a play on the ball, would you not consider that INT under 8-2-F-5?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
