observation

If the bat was tested prior to the tournament and passed that should be a non issue. Travis grabbing the bat is out of line. Calling this incident a brawl is ridiculous no punch were even thrown. Is it ridiculous behavior absolutely. People acting tough and putting on a show like that has been happening in softball for decades. I dont know what the correct solution is but suspending people for this seems a little extreme since no physical confrontation occurred. Is it embarassing absolutely but there is a lot of embarassing behavior at the softball fields every weekend

As an old timer, you should probably know better, but I'm willing to lend a thought. You can shave a bat and still have it pass compression. It's gonna get hotter faster. As for Clark picking up the bat, what's the issue? Flip really wanted that bat back, since he reached for it twice. People should be suspended or this behavior will continue. Ever think punishment will deter future "embarrassing behavior at the softball fields every weekend".

Clark wouldnt have to grab the bat if the umpire had been doing his job.

If I’m not mistaken I think sanchez pitched a ball at Phil mattes head in a game earlier and starred him down. They were looking to start something. Wonder what the real drama is

I've seen bats swapped out of the can many times. Just because a bat passed earlier in the day, doesn't mean it didn't get swapped out later in the day. I'm not suggesting that's what happened in this situation.

DW,

I'm not going to argue with you, but it isn't a big secret.

When we played Dan Smith in 2020 in Cincinnati. We saw one of their players swap a bat out of the bucket. That player then proceeded to put one by our pitcher's head. We brought it up to the park manager (Not Dave), and he said he was aware but couldn't do much about it. They could remove the bat, but then our pitcher might die.

I mentioned it to someone that plays for Resmondo, at the Challenge Cup this year (2022). To my surprise, they said they were well aware that this person did bat swapping pretty consistently.

It is what is. But my point is, just because it's in the bucket, doesn't mean it's a legitimate bat.

Time to go through all streams of Dan Smith’s 8 games at Cincy waiting for someone to hum one by a pitcher’s head
