You are right ChampaignBlue,
I did have a choice. I guess I should have trusted that the umpire would have made the correct call. Sometimes you don't always think clearly in the heat of the moment. It was a pretty cheezy league in Carlsbad, Ca & none of the umpires were that great. That is probably why he let the situation get out of control & there were no consequences for our actions. On the flip side, I have seen umpires rule with an iron fist & command respect from players (which is what I prefer). I have seen umpires throw players out of games without a warning for saying the F-word. Heck, a few years ago I watched an umpire throw a guy out for faking a tag at second.
