So I say to him in a calm manner, "Batter those balls are strikes buddy, you better swing the bat."

Not the best thing to say. Dont be so combative, especially if he didnt say anything

So I say, "Well coach, he threw his hands up at me twice and was rolling his eyes and head at me, so I told him that the pitches were strikes and that he better swing the bat."

So the guy points a finger in my face and says, "Don't you ever talk to the batter blue, you do your job. Your job isn't to talk to the batter, don't ever do that again."

That sounds like crying when you say "Well he threw his hands up." When you say he better swing the bat, why do you care? If he takes three looking, is that a problem? And the pointing = an ejection, but Luke pointed out you had sufficient opportunities after this.

He refuses and continues to tell me to do my job, so after warning him for about a 3rd time, I finally say, "You're out of here". So he says naturally, "For WHAT!". So the sherriff behind the back stop says "Lets go coach". And the coach takes a while to leave and I tell him, "Coach, you have 30 seconds to leave this field." He says, "Before what, you kick my a$$?" I said, "No, before your team has to forfeit."

You waited way too long. Third warning? They are worthless if you continue to "warn" people.

Well, he finally leaves, and of course the team was down 9-0 and ended up getting run-ruled. You might be saying, "Why the heck did Dude post this?"

I remember you giving it to Tee a while back on a previous post about your experience and so forth. That really says a lot after this post. Also, I was saying "Why the heck" way before I got to the end of the post.
