beat down.. then recovered

[Ring 'em Up]

i had my second ejection two weeks ago.. this said, it sure was easy.. that time.

 

roll back one week earlier, and i did not have my game management skills.. at all.

 

basically what happened was that the HC of the home team was the league president.  (i didn't know it in the beginning of the game).  i had gone over the Bronco rules, which stated "4 coaches allowed on the team, 2 on field, 2 dugout".  whcih ment to me that on offence, 1 coach as FBC, and 1 coach as 3BC.  top of 1st this HC had his bucket sitting out of the dugout and i asked him to push it back so it's flush w/the dugout door, and he yells out in a condecending manner "I don't know where you got that rule, but its not here at our park".  I let it slide... which was totally wrong of me. as i found out later.

 

in the 4 inning, the VHC was catching for his pitcher (the 5 warmups)as the catcher was getting ready.  i asked the coach to let the catcher take the 5th (and final warmup) and do the throwdown, and he just ignored me.  so when the catcher comes out, i asked the pitcher to step off the mound, to make that throw as he had already taken his 5 from the mound.  Well the VHC say something to the effect "i've never heard of that rule" (meaning only 5 pitches (returning pitcher)).  Then the HTC, starts in and talking in a loud voice. i asked him to come out and as he approached, he said "I write your check, this i gotta hear".  then he started in on me and my assignor..

 

least be said, i was demeaned in front of about 70 people.. i was fuming mad at the situation i was in .. and was thinking that i should have warned him in the first inning about his 'demeaning voice" towards me.

 

this game.. was in shambles for me.  

 

anyway, when leaving, i was approcached by several people who applogized for the behavior of the coach/manager.  but what got me... is that it was TOTALLY MY FAULT.  i swear i got into my rule books as soon as i got home, and studied the sportsmanship/ejection rules...

 

move forward 2 weeks: 10 minutes to drop dead, pony/pinto game, top of 5th, score 5/8, home team winning.   R2, i call a strike on B2, VHC Coach yells out "HEY THATS A CHICKEN SH*T CALL, LET THE KIDS PLAY".  i'm thinking.. what.. "TIME!"  he was in the dugout, and walked over about 3 feet and said "that's enough coach, i don't want to hear anymore from you, this is your warning".  and then he started complaining and threw out one more cuss word.  i ejected him at that point for profanity.  i promise.. i won't be manhandled, demeaned, or disrespected again..!

 

i wasn't going to post this because i'm embaressed that i was a panty waist 3 weeks ago.. but i'm hoping another first year will see this and not let some disrespecful coach dump on him, like what happened to me.

We will dismiss the first game, as should everybody else, you already know where you what wrong there. On the second game," that's enough" is all that should be said. Anything else gets him dumped.

Good EJ but you should have got him on the first comment from the dugout.  I've no tolerance for profane yelling around children (at least on the field )

[benrosen]

lol for that age group that is an immediate EJ. 

 

First game when the coach says "I write your check" he is gone as well.

Absolutely.... (but isnt Pinto 5-6 yr olds? and coach pitch?).....................that being said......I got no tolerance for profanity at that level.......gone.......

[BigUmpire]

I have said it before and I will say it again.

 

Anytime you have coaches out of the dugout, problems will arise.

Cursing is a big no-no, especially in youth leagues. Bye coach, thanks for playin'.

i think there 8 & 9 yrs old.. def not 5 & 6.  either way, i'd had enough.

Pintos is the little dues . . . Bronco is 12U, Mustang 10U, and Pinto should be 8U.

[mstaylor]

Absolutely stick to 8&5. If you don't then the catcher will take longer and longer. Kids don't know so we have to teach the coaches at that level.

I'm a stickler on it too. I will let them know he has 1 more and if he wants to wait for his catcher. If he proceeds to throw to another base in the meantime, that's it, no more, let's go.

 

Can't count the number of times in sub varsity games the 5th puitch comes in and they are not ready for the throw down. Sucks for you catcher, let's play.

Ring,

 

We've all - at one time or another early in our careers - had that game.  Anyone who says they haven't is lying.

 

Good job!  (but dump on the 1st c-s comment around kids)

Indeed we have. Mine was in my 1st year. The specifics don't much matter, but suffice to say that I *still* play that game over and over in my head from time to time. That EJ that I didn't give when it was so deserved still gnaws on me to this day. Never, never again.

We don't eject, they eject themselves. Let's not make it so difficult to accommodate them! I don't get the bucket thing. We certainly don't see it at the HS level here.

ditto!  We don't eject.......We just confirm their desire to no longer participate in this contest. 

[LMSANS]

I eject! It is what it is...the consequence of stupid behavior.
