I still haven't really experienced pre-game at the Tigue... Just walked straight to the press box... I'll be there to call Wednesday's game... Who wants to feed me at their tailgate??? :-)

That is incorrect. The ump ruled that Goulas did not try to get out of the way of the ball (or leaned into it). If that is the case, it is a ball. It was a 2-2 count before the pitch. After, it became a full count. He never said it hit the bat. If that were the case, it would still have been 2-2.
But the baseball gods came into play with Goulas bombing one. I can't remember the last time an ump called back a batter after a HBP due to him not getting out of the way. Jay talks about that all the time, saying that if it is still a rule, it is borderline non-existent.
That was the explanation given by the TV announcers. Later in the game they announced that he was called back due to him not trying to get out of the way. So at the time of my post I was under the impression that he was called back because the umpire said the ball hit his bat.
Was any explanation given to why the Tech pitcher went into the dugout for a while in the middle of a inning.
