were I the ump,the first thing I would have done was slap the batter.What a piece of crap he is.That was just cheezy.Then,I would have called it either a ball or no pitch.When the manaIger comes out to chat,I would explain that HE needs to talk to his boy and explain that what the batter did was wrong,REAL WRONG.
31 was being an idiot.Umpire maybe a bigger idiot.HE LEANED RIGHT DOWN TO GET HIT.Max didnt deserve that
I have only seen one instance where the batter was refused the HBP call for not attempting to get out of the way. This was obviously one of those situations where the batter should have moved. Craig Biggio was notorious for "leaning into pitches". If I was the umpire and I saw it...….get your ass back in the box Tabata.
