The whole thing got me questioning my own opinion.

Bonds is a plate hugger. Lets put a pitcher on the mound who is throwing inside to to back him off, the first two pitches wizz under his elbow, he's warned and Bonds does not move back, the next pitch hits him in the elbow. The pitcher and coach are both booted. How does a pitching staff deal with a batter that even when brushed back will not give ground?

If it was a .230 reserve who was the batter in this situation would it be getting the same coverage?
