That just doesn't meet the common sense test, particularly when the other team that only bats nine of its 14 players (B) can have five ejections but continue to play.
A) A coach who bats all and can't manage behavior, their fault.

B) A coach who has blatantly UC players, might hold onto subs just to cover ejections, but disgusting as that is, within the rules.

IOW, live with the rules as written. A couple members of this forum have repeatedly proven that rule changes that make sense don't always make it.


I don't think it distorts my view of the actual rules that I have almost no ejections of players, both for crashing a catcher. Only two others came close.
