After 3 assignments that were rained / snowed out, I finally got in my first game of the season this morning.

HS Varsity, I'm on the dish. Bottom 1st, no outs. SP starts off with back-to-back filthy curveballs for called strikes. Next pitch, batter whiffs on a high-in fastball. Frustrated batter then sends his bat flying towards his bench and starts walking away while I'm giving him the ejection mechanic with an emphatic "you're gone." HC knew it too, he didn't even try to go down the "why didn't you give a warning?" path. Nothing else happened and game went on as normal.

That's easily the earliest ejection I've ever had to start a season. I just wanted to dust the winter cobwebs off - didn't see that one coming today.

The one thing I might do differently is save the "emphatic" for when it's really necessary. Where an EJ is obvious, why ramp up the EJ mechanic?
