I know that it has always been a rule, but I thought I heard last weekend and the weekend before it being mentioned that they're really going to be looking for it this season and call guys on it more. I just don't see where getting hit in the shoulder and standing your ground while it happens should warrant revocation of the otherwise-awarded base.

And FWIW the guy that got hit ended up getting on base anyway. The call didn't hurt UGA, just seemed like a BS call given what had happened.

I've never seen it enforced when a guy got plunked in a normal stance and didn't jump away from it. I have seen it enforced several times when a guy leaned into it.
