What's your opinion on umps not calling HBPs because player didn't try to dodge it?



I think the argument is that it increases player safety because ncaa feels that players are pressured to "take one for the team" and ncaa wants to encourage dodging and taking away the incentive to stay in there but I still don't really like it.

Probably the dumbest rule in the history of baseball. The thing is though that it is based on the umpires judgement. So ultimately you have a ridiculous stupid rule being enforced by an umpire who has the ability to make it right but chooses not to!!

Close second is the elimination of takeout slides at 2nd base.
