Apologies but pinch hits will continue to be crossed out when claimed; this is so potential claimers can tell at a glance which of the pinch hits have been claimed when scrolling through the post.

If you want to read the claimed requests without strikethrough, you can either:

1) use the requests summary (sorted alphabetically by participant name) here

2) copy-paste the request into an app like Notepad or TextEdit and that will strip out the formatting
