Don,

You missed an opportunity to get an extra out! When the guy started talking trash, you should have said, just loud enough for him to hear, "you're done when the play is over."

There is a good possibility he would have stopped in his tracks to debate the issue and allow the defense to get the out.

Sneaky? Yup, but you didn't tell him to stop running d:-)
