Jake and Seths Case
If a pitcher pitches the ball and the batter hits it into the window and breaks the window and nocks over the chanukia and lights the store on fire is the batter obligated to pay for the damages in the store. The legal law is that the batter has to pay. An alternative to this is if there is no window then the store owner must pay. It is the batters fault when there is a window because he has control 0f the ball. If there is no window then the owner of the store must pay because he is not trying to protect the chanukia. Rabbi Jake says that maybe the batter didn't have control of the ball. If the baseball players are outside of 1000 feet away from the store the Rabbis will be more leniant. If they are within 10 feet of the store the rabbis are stricter.

The batter shld have to pay either way. If it was 10 feet aay maybe more because of negligence. But he did directly damage something.
The batter should have to pay for it anyway because he still hit the menorah either way.
but houses are not normally built so that the front of them faces a baseball field. so if the batter broke the window, it would be in the back. Therefore, the man's hannukia was not supposed to be there. if should have been in the front window. then they would not have hit the hannukia.
Well if there is no window the architect and carpenter should have to pay because the walls obviously aren't strong enough!
Rabbi Asdfafdsfdksfd says that houses are always built facing away from baseball fields.
they shouldn't be playing baseball near houses anyways, but if a guy is on steroids (Barry Bonds) and DOES hit the ball 1000 yards, the batter must pay for all of the damages. If they are playing within actual possible range of hitting the house, the batter and pitcher must split the pays because they were playing together. oh and btw- nice spelling on nock

What if the pitcher threw it in a way that the batter couldnt hit it and then hit it into the window. then would the pitcher have to pay? asks Rabbi sarah
Even though there was no window, why would the store owner be having today? It's not THEIR fault that they don't have a window and a baseball went through it!
Rabbi Marshmallow says that the batter must pay for each incident. A ball can go through a window even if it HAS glass.
It's even worse if there IS a window!
rabbi qwertyuiopjdsfhsdafklfjhasktf says
that the batter must pay no matter what its his fault. im not saying i cud, but the batter should b able to pick where he wants to hit it. so the battter has to pay for everything

the guy with the bat should be in charge of the amount that was needed to pay because it was his bat that hit the menorah.
Rabbi Julia disagrees, and says that if the batter hits a channukiah in a store, window or no window, the batter is obligated. He should control his swing, and should not hit near a store.
even if there is no window the batter should still have to pay because he hit the ball
rav ginsy says what if it was a curve ball and the batter had no choice but to hit it because the catcher wasnt wearing paddingt and it woulda killed him. So it would be the pitchers fault for the curveball.
Everyone who played in this game must chip in to pay for the damages
I agree with the Rav
