Got to love the coach
Runner on first attempted steal of second, I call her out. Head back to the A position. The first base coach is suddenly in my face asking me what was that. I pay no attention to him, just set up getting ready for next pitch. The coach goes on for a few more rants and gives up, I didn't even look at him. The head coach in the third base box asks for time, and trots out to ask me about the call. I tell him the tag was here the player was there the runner was out. He is okay with that, because that is also what he saw, (I think he came out to save his coach from an ejection) but he ask me to ask PU for help. Okay I ask go ask PU did you see anything different, nope she is out. Game goes on.
Later in the game runner on third, foul ball. As we are waiting for some balls, a bench coach runs on to the field and yells at me the offensive coach is touching the runner. I did not see any touching now or during live ball play, so I ignore this guy. He runs in to the playing area yelling he touched her, he touched her. I calmly and loudly tell him Sir I can not hear you. He get right up to me and tells me again about the coach touching the player. I tell him that I can not hear him means that while I hear him I will ignore him and if there is a problem the head coach can ask me a question. Another foul ball another delay getting a ball back in play same guy starts with the touching thing again. This time I tell him if you want me to hear you, you will miss the next game, do you want me to hear you? The light goes on, he says no. Game goes on.
Man I love the play offs.
