JuCo ball.

9 innings game, bottom of 6 Home team up 14-2; visiting team has like 8 errors.

 

R1, 1 out. B2 sharply hits the ball in the dirt just in front of the plate and is quickly bounding towards third base - and will easily be foul - (if the 3rd baseman leaves it alone).

The third baseman runs forward and swats the ball (that is still in fair territory) out of play and into Dead ball territory.

 

So I point fair call time and award bases.

 

Visiting couch comes out and said -"You were going to call that foul", my reply "Had your third baseman not touched it in fair territory, I would have.)

He said "You have been horse SH*# all day" -

Me - "you are done coachâ€, and I thought to myself, but didn't say "look at the score board I don’t think I have been horseSH*# all day."

Given the situation you described, it sounds like he WANTED to go.  Should have made him stay to watch the carnage.

Sometimes the greater punishment is to make them stay.
