Fourth, as noted, if you do it for one, but better do it for both, every time. COMPLETE BS. Do it whenever possible. That is what a reasonably prudent person would do.
fifth, is you move it, just where are you going to move it to with assurance it will not become part of the play? Can you imagine the crap you will here (and test of your insurance) if you move a bat to an area which the play goes and a player trips over a bat you placed there? What i can assure you is that it will be part of the play IF YOU DON'T MOVE IT. So by that logic, you ought to do what you can to limit it. If the ball hits it after you moved it, who gives a $h!t? "Coach, i moved the bat because it was hazardous." PERIOD.
sixth, and most important, it still isn't my bat. Though still true, STILL NOT RELEVANT.
let's wake up people.

Interesting set of responses. Good read.

I used to move the bat when possible. I no longer make the attempt.

If I was ever working rec league 8U/10U again, I might move the bat as needed. That said, my daughter has been playing 8U. While they are uniformly horrible, not once has the bat been an issue at that level.
