I'm glad to see that the rational amongst this board understand that this player's behavior is never warranted! As I wrote earlier, it doesn't matter what the umpire did or did not say/do. This clown threw a bat at the umpire and he will be punished acordingly. In my eyes, it won't be severe enough, but that is an issue for another thread.

Also no one said it was acceptable to throw a bat at someone.
