Thanks for the responses guys.
I realize that my view is slanted, as I was the first batter that was ejected. I realize that I am telling my side of the story, but I am also an umpire and I know the perspective from behind the catcher too.
Our league is age 19-21, and it gets pretty heated. We seldom have problems such as these, but it is not just our team. Opposing players have had confrontations as well. We actually have a lot of solid umpires up here, but in my opinion, this guy is not fit to do these games. In previous games, he messed up a few calls, and he never seems to sure of himself.
I know that these situations happen in baseball. In this situation, I felt that it was not handled properly by the PU. That is why I posted it on here. I wanted to get some other opinions on the situation.
And I realize that umpires are not going to be perfect (from being one myself for 6 years), but just as I expect a player to be pissed at me for screwing up, I do not expect myself or my teammates to let something like this slide without any argument. This was a big game too, we were playing the team directly ahead of us in the standings.
Thanks for the input guys.
