>baseball players could win an important game just by letting the pitch hit them>they move out of the wayis it just me or do these steroidball guys seem like little bitches
>>151372619Natural human instincts take over in that situation. Sadly.
>>151372619With how fast the ball comes at you there isn't enough time to make out where that ball is going to hit you and instincts come in and tell you to get the fuck out of the way. You can't risk taking a hit from a ball that could hit your head or your balls.https://youtube.com/shorts/CBSF5EIlkYs
There is a rule that you have to make an effort, in the opinion of the home plate umpire, to get out of the way. If he feels that you intentionally allowed yourself to get hit, the way Ron Hunt used to do, he can deny you first base.
Why don't they just wear a full suit of body armor and stand on top of home plate every at bat?
hiroshima's legend is known for getting hit by pitch intentionally and even acting like it hit him even when it didn't
seems weird that most of the time spent during baseball is NOT hitting the ball
>>151374072They should. It would make the game a lot more interesting.
>>151372619Get drilled by a 94 mph fastball in the ribs and get back to me.
