here's an option that should get some response
Check the rule book, but a manager is responsible for the acts of his players. Now I know i'm looking for things, but It worked with a team I'd had trouble with for two years, where the players were unruly and the manager did nothing about it. I had chucked players, even enough in one game so the forfited (which was only two that day), and still nothing changed. Then one day had a kid in the box out right scream in disgust about strike three, (in the same spot as Strike 1 and 2 no less too) and he got tossed, he then went on a verbal tirade for conservativly 2 min. with horrible language and the like. The manager stood a 3rd base and twiddled his thumbs, when the kid finally stopped, I chucked the coach for a lack of control of his players.
That caused a good scene, but I never threw a player from that squad for the remainder of the yar and the next season was without a hitch. They are angels on my diamond now. Give it a shot.
