Geez Joel,

That was your baby out there! Natural instinct is to come to her aid! If it went as you said, I don't see you really being out of line. I know as an umpire/parent/spectator we try to maintain the professionalism off the field also, but surely we shouldn't always be silent. Don't beat youself up over this one.

Sitting by yourself? I remember the wife and I watching our son's 10U game a couple years back. When "her baby" got hit in the hands (pulling back, not swinging) and one of the guys in our association calling the game said "the hands are part of the bat" and called a strike, I thought I was gonna have to sit on the Mrs to keep her calm! Good thing she wasn't by herself, she can be mean!
