It's the first time I've seen it actually enforced so far this season but I don't get it. Why is the onus on the batter to avoid the pitch rather than on the pitcher to, you know, not hit the guy batting?

its mostly meant to stop dudes who crowd the frick out of the plate and leave their arms hanging out real far.
its not really supposed to be applied to a dude that gets tagged square in the back.
at least that was the way I heard it explained on the radio some time back.
