Highandin: First, apologies Greg! I screwed up on my scroll up!

I’ve called Babe Ruth games, using OBR, and have rung up strikes on guys who stepped out…and there it has to be a strike… and people were NOT happy. I’ve also rung up a strike for not avoiding and allowing the ball to hit you.

Highandin: why would you call a strike in OBR for a batter not avoiding the ball? In OBR you just call a ball and bring the batter back. It’s only a strike if the ball hits him in the strike zone, but allowing a ball to hit you that’s outside the strike zone is just a ball.

I don’t think my post went through so I’ll try again. Highandin: Why would you would you call a strike for not avoiding the pitch in OBR? It’s only a strike if the ball hits you in the strike zone. Otherwise it’s just a ball and you bring the batter back.

Same as Greg Spencer’s answer above in OBR.
