 And the pitch broke his ear flap. The pitch ended up rolling away. Are they going to keep him at the plate? Apparently they're going to rule that his bunt was an offer of a swing. So despite being hit by the pitch and his ear flap breaking, it's a swing. And when a player swings at a pitch or strikes at a pitch and is hit by it, it's a strike and a dead ball. So no balls and a strike.
