I agree in principal and I never use that terminology, but there is a difference in the rulings for when a ball is blocked by the offense or the defense.

As far as I'm aware blocked ball is only for equipment that's not official playing equipment.
One to keep in the back of my mind next time I have a stroppy pitcher. Incidentally in that game I got to call my first double-hit. Happened so quick I wasn't sure what the sound of it was, and got very excited when I got to call it! |

I assume you mean the bat contacted the ball twice in one swing, and not the more routine bat-hitting-ball on a follow through swing or on a discarded bat. So what did you rule?

But this is not a blocked ball. This is a nothing, no matter which team ends up advantaged or disadvantaged.
