should i of thrown coach out

[critter]

coach compain about stirkes all day long. Base umpire came up to me and told me not to deal with it. I just pretty much brush aside the coach comments.

I already been told i had good stirkes zone with the other umpires i work with. this is Babe ruth level. local torument.

The other play was at home called runner out on tag and i told the coach he miss the plate. the Bu after the coach goes back comes and tells me the ball was drop.

The coach never ask me nor did he even metion anything about the ball being drop. He was complaing about the runner beating the ball nothing else.

So did i do anything wrong or right in this case? I know sometimes you got to be there to see it.

Note: before i made the call at home out. I made sure i did not see the ball on teh ground or in between or behind catchers leg. the BU said i made it took quick. I disagree with him.

I had another fan who use to umpire critizsm the Bu when he was the PU in another game. saying he was not in the correct postion in some cases. But i never said anything since the guy i work with is a HS ump.

I would issue a warning if the manager or any body in the dugout in constantly putting their "two cents worth" in. As a base umpire, I would never go and tell him the ball was dropped. That would make the plate umpire look bad. I am there to umpire the bases, and the whole plate guy is there to do the plate. It was not his call, it was yours. You called what you saw and that should be the end of the story.

Now if the manager thought that the catcher dropped the ball, you could possibly confer with your partner, but this would be at your discretion, and not something you would have to do.

Also, the base umpire should not be telling you what to and what not to be worrying about. As the plate umpire, you are the Umpire in Chief.

It sounds as one of those times where you have to be there to know what to say.

There is my two cents worth.

i gave the coach a warning after arguing the call at the plate. He finally clam down when i gave him that after that didn't here anything else. Yea i really didn't g o by BU. The BU never told the coach that just me.

Bold. Yes i agree i would of done that without thinking twice. in else i knew for the fact of the called.

Thanks man for your input it took me plenty of times to write that :home:
