That's where Bill seems to have it confused. He thinks anytime you get hit with the ball and it hits the bat it's a foul ball. If the guy swings and it hits his hand and the bat? Totally get it, foul ball, just like it's a strike if a guy swings at slider and it breaks and hits him on the back foot or something but what has happened the last two times has been a batter not swinging and the ball hitting the hand and bat (maybe the first one was all bat, I don't remember.) Either way, I don't think foul ball if the hitter doesn't swing is the actual rule and it doesn't seem the replay umpires in New York think it's the rule either which is why I think it's weird that Bill keeps saying it's the rule.
