Two in One Game

[moblue]

Last night tied a record for me. The most ejections I have ever had in a game was two. Last night, I tied my personal record with two ejections in a 12 yr. old state tournament game. I could tell after the top of the first that we were going to have problems from one of the teams, and it could potentially be a long game if we didn't make sure to keep the game under control. It wasn't long after that (maybe the second inning?) that I tossed an AC for trying to get his two cents in on an argument. The HC of the trouble team wanted me to get help on a call at first. I told him that I didn't need help, and that I got a good look at the play. AC decides to tell me "That's two in a row!" Thanks for showing up. He left without much trouble at all thanks to some mom that told him to just leave.

My partner was PU and had already warned fans for their comments on balls and strikes. I am aware that fans should not be engaged, so let's leave that part alone. There was a play where the batter hit the ball down onto the plate, and it stayed fair. Some fan decided to tell him "That ball hit the ^!*(#@ plate." He was tossed. I didn't hear this exchange, but apparently he said this more than once because my partner first warned him on language, then tossed.

My partner had a chance to eject a player that struck out swinging and decided to give the bat a nice low toss/slide back to the dugout (probably at least 20 feet if I had to guess). My partner didn't eject. Since he stayed in the game I ended up having to eject him later. Player was F6. Ball hit to the outfield and F6 goes to 2B. He is looking for the ball from the outfielders, then intentionally tried to trip a runner as he rounded the bag. I tossed immediately, then called time after the play was over and went through the ejection mechanic again. His coach, who had been a pain, didn't argue it. He asked between innings why I ejected the player, then admitted to seeing it.

I guess it isn't really surprising to say that the team lost the game. They were eliminated in their next game of the tournament. The umpires from that game said they didn't have any problems from them.

What a douche

Coaches who teach how to play the game but Not how to act on the field. Makes my a#$ raw! Then when we have to TCB we are the bad guys!

Did you call OBS on thhe trip? In Fed, he would get 3b. That would be funny. "Boom" F6 AND award 3b o the same play?!? sweet.

Why ask?

And they wonder why they get called that certain name? What is it????? Oh yea, RAT (i.e. a despicable person), or is it an acronym for Righteous And True. From reading other articles IMHO it means the former and not the latter.

The only thing I can think of now is the newer Bad News Bears.

Was this a Little League State Tourney? Just curious because those are going on right now.
