Well, this has been fun; livens up a dull winter day. Looks like most of you feel that you have to let the player go (soooo sloooow) - even though you are annoyed or less than pleased with their antics.
But lets start over again. The original purpose of the LB rule was to eliminate the taunting and game playing by runners off base. Seems like my scenero is getting us back into that area again, though technically within the rules. If this was a H.S. game, how many of you would be willing to invoke 3.3 Bench and Field Conduct?
1.0.3: "A player shall not commit any unsporting act to include, but not limited to, behavior in any manner not in accordance with the spirit of fair play."
PENALTY: "The umpire shall eject the offender from the game, unless the offense is judged to be of a minor nature. Then the umpire may warn the offender and then eject her if she repeats the offense."
