3 in 3 Games

12 U State Championships

 

I've got the first two games behind the dish.  Play at the plate in the first game and catcher makes a great tag to get him out. F2 then proceeds to throw the ball down and say something to the runner (Ejectable I know).  But I immediately get the catcher aside and explain how I can eject him for that and don't talk to another player again.  Next Inning another play at the plate and Runner gets his hand in.  F2 thinks he missed the plate and tags him, SAFE. He then throws his glove down and walks to the backstop to start punching it.  HE'S GONE! Coach after game said he wasn't even going to play him in the next after those actions.

 

Final game I'm in the field for the championship.  2nd inning 2 out and a hit to Left Field. As R2 rounds 3rd he has to alter his path around the F5.  I say, "That's Obstruction!" Play at the plate and partner calls him OUT. I come in Immediately wave him off and say "That run scores" and echo obstruction.  This team goes insane. manager is calm and wants an explanation but AC is not.  They protest the game even though we told them it's a judgement call.  So while we're waiting for the TD and UIC to come AC will not shutup and after being warned partner ejects him.  He was originally going to walk away but then turns around and goes, "you know what i'm going to get my money's worht!" Good scream at my partner then leaves and sits in the stands.  we tell HC you guys are going to forfeit if he doesn't leave and he leaves.  Obviously protest not upheld.

 

2 Innings later R1 and R2, double steal by the same team who got ejected earlier.  I get in position and he's obviously OUT! Here's where I messed up and thought it was ball 4 though so I look back at my partner and the batter is still there (My bad I know I had a major slip up and lost the count).  So I bang him out.  HC goes insnae again "You can't wait that long to make that call!" Takes off his hat and says, "You Suck! You're terrible!" Adios Muchacho!

 

Oh Yeah His team lost 16-2, but every fan let me know how much I was stealing from the kids after that.

Good ejections

 

But why is "F2 then proceeds to throw the ball down and say something to the runner (Ejectable I know)" ejectable? What did he say?

[hogsfan787]

Something along the lines of "that's right, take that, I got you out" kinda taunting him while spiking the ball down. In a higher age group, I might have ejected him for that... What do you guys think?

I think you handled it just fine....step in and shut down immediately, eject if it happens again or if there's any kind of physical aspect to the first time (chest bumping, getting right in the face, etc).

I agree!

Wait, you tossed him for throwing his glove down?  Have we learned nothing from watching the CWS?

 

Seriously, all good ejections.  Love the daddys that want to act like "real life major league coaches" and "get their money's worth."  Ugh.

 

12U State Championships - was this LL, or some kind of travel ball?

Boycott USSSA

I don't think so

They are my major money maker on the weekends.

The difference may be the locality of the games and how the tournaments are run.

USSSA = $moneyball$ BUT managed that way with umpires being treated like "Hired help"
