#1 in 2013

Worked my first tourny this weekend.  I had     9 games total, 18U and 16 U .  

 

This happened in an 18u OBR USSSA Rule set  Here's my ejection report

 

Top of 4 leadoff bater  is # 21

First pitch I called a strike . 0-1 Batter says that's outside . I say "it's a good pitch"   Next Pitch is fouled off, 0-2 .  Third pitch, I called strike 3.  Bater throws his arms up and states "That's outside" and draws a line in the dirt with his bat where he thought the pitch was .   I  then eject #21.   Batter leaves the field, and play continues.  

 

Easiet EJ I have ever had, I didn't even get a manager in my face  wanting an explanation or ANYTHING , not even the fans said anything, at least not loud enough to be heard  by me , i am kinda deaf, in addition to being blind. 

 

Batter was an ass on the 1st pitch, acting incredulous with his body language at the pitch and his comments.   But Jerry Layne taught me the right way to deal with that, and not go kicking the hornets nest. 

 

I do have to add you don't really remeber the ejections you make, but rather the ones you don't make.   I haven't been umpiring nearly as long as some people on board but early in my carrer I was working 2 different  adult league games.   a 1 man , and a 2 man.   Both times behind the plate I had baters draw a line and I let them get away with it, after learning a bit more I vowed it would never happen again.

I'd love to have an EJ like that .......cut-dried, simple!

Sheesh, to have dumped a guy over B&S by the 13th of January, you must have a wiiiiiiide strike zone   lol

A no brainer ejection for sure. I was observing a men's game last year and a batter did that, PU dumped him. Thre or four dads were sitting there watching and they all agreed it was a good toss. One said,"Damn that's an auto eject."

He knew it. He was being an ass! Put the blame on "blue"! Just like mama and daddy taught him!

My first ejection in three years was one of these. Couldn't believe it even happened. Kid and coach couldn't believe I ran him for it. Was told by HC after he was notified of the EJ "its how he finds his spot in the box"

Then he better learn to do it before the first pitch as part of stepping in or find another method because it will cost him at bats

[OHUMP]

BT_Blue you should tell the coach that instead of helping him find his spot in the box it really is for helping him find his spot on the becnh after he is tossed.

I decided discretion was the better part of not mouthing off since he was already mad that I did it and it happened in a playoff game.
