You can tell Billy Martin that his players can be malicious at other bases without risk of being called out. He's right. Then when he does it, eject the kid and the coach (for telling the player to be malicious). His kid isn't out (the out only applies at home), but he's done for the day.

This is the problem with coaches that only read the parts of the rules that they like.
