The elbow pad hanging 4" off the dudes elbow gets hit and it's a hit by pitch?

Why can't we just put people up there with 3 foot long pads that extend in the zone?

Dugas would love to have even more area to get hit, let’s figure this one out

It really is, and the announcers kept talking about the oven mit hand protector. What's to stop them from having a 4 foot long oven mit. As soon as that thing touches the base, they are safe right?

I'ver often wondered the same thing - They have always looked at least an inch longer than an ungloved hand. Some look quite a bit longer.
