The Official Tennessee @ Alabama Series Thread (Thurs. 3/20 7:30PM EDT ESPNU) (Fri. 3/21 7PM EDT SECNET+) (Sat. 3/22 2PM EDT SECNET+)

These announcers should know by now that a foul tip, by definition, is a pitched ball that tips off the bat and travels directly to the mitt or hand and is caught. If a pitched ball is tipped off the bat and touches the ground, backstop, etc., it is simply a foul ball and not a foul tip. Nit picky but it's just wrong to call tipped balls that aren't caught by the catcher foul tips.
