College Rec Baseball Bottom 3 0 Outs. HT is called out on strikes. Catcher did not help me but it was a good fastball at the knees. HT erupted and Manger/3rd base coach says "There's no way that's a strike, that was below his knees" loud enough for the crowd to hear. The comment is ignored. He makes a similar comment which is also ignored. After the 3rd comment, I take off my mask hold up a stop sign and say "That's enough!" He pauses, contemplating what to do and says, "How can that be a strike if the catcher caught it sideways (and demostrates this with his hand)?" "You're Gone!" with a crisp ejection mechanic. Post Ejection was pretty calm other than him coming down to home plate to demonstrate in a catcher's stance how he caught it and how that can't be a strike, then he left the field within a minute. The crowd seemed to think it was a quick ejection, but forgot in the end when they won the close game. UE has definitely helped me with game management in reading all these posts. I felt confident on how to handle the situation, warn the manager and honor his request to be removed from the game.
