Got clocked with the bat

[T-Rav]

Well it finally happened today, I got hit square in the mask with a thrown bat. It happened during the second pitch of the game, the batter swung and threw that bat and luckily it hit my mask square and knocked it off. I had a very minor head ache the rest of the game and was able to finish the entire crappy varsity district championship game. I really hope I do not have any more symptoms of a concussion because I have 8 tournament games this weekend and can not back out now.

 

All I can say about this experience is that thrown bats to the mask hurt, a lot and I hope that none of you ever will get to experience this. It is by far my worst hit ever taken and I am just glad I had my Rawlings TI and TW pads to protect me.

I got one in the forearm tonight. No TW to protect me there.

Warn them and fortell of the destruction and agony that will befall them peradventure you are hit with another flying bat!

Ouch, I've been there. Hope you can get back behind there soon.

You didn't have a defensive coach screaming about a thrown bat and the batter should be out???

Travis I told you to stand behind the catcher. not in front.

Guys:

Under OBR, warn the coach the first time a kid tosses a bat then eject if he does it again in the same game? I had a kid a couple of weeks ago hit me in the shins his 1st AB then hit F2 in the throat his 3rd AB.

can you cite the OBR rule # on that one @KenBAZ??

9.01C? A bit of a cop out I know but I'm trying to get help from the board on what can be a safety issue. Thanks

No go on 9.01©, that is abuse of the rule IMO. You'll need a local rule under OBR.
