Tonight was my first EJ in 2 years.

Mustang game (9/10 y/o) game I have the dish.

D3K and the play at first is close my partner gets the out. Out storms the coach from the 3rd base box to me. "You've got to overrule him!"

I reply, "I can't overrule him."

"Come on that's the 5th call you all have blown tonight!"

"Coach, That's enough! You're not going to be out here counting on us!"

"How can you all miss 5 calls!"

"You're outta here!"

What a douche.

As Mastercard would say: Priceless! I do love it when they make it easy though.

Well done sir, you even got the "That's enough" warning inserted before he ejected himself.

How can we miss 5 calls? How can YOU, sir, miss the rest of this game? Adios, Amigo!

I have to know Warren, do these coaches know you run this website? It seems like it would be comparable to a comedian's act where anything that anyone in the audience does could possibly become part of the act and that person gets made fun of for the next 15 minutes. I think you should read them their Miranda Rights at the plate conference, "Anything you say or do on this field can be used as entertainment on umpire-empire.com forum. If you do not like this, keep your mouth shut for the remainder of the game". I think you should consider implementing this. Maybe you wouldn't have these morons so often.

Some people know, some don't. I doubt any rec ball coaches even remember my name 5 minuets after the plate meeting, so my level of discretion as to what to post is really low. Higher level games sometimes I don't even post situations because I don't want it to bite me. I'm fairly certain at least 1 local HS coach knows about U-E, which means I have to believe most do and temper some of my posts with that in mind.

Additionally 2 members of my association's board are on here so I don't want to burn any of those bridges either.
