Tossing somebody out for arguing BS balls and strikes sends a message alright. If you don't wanna hear it, stay home. You really don't belong there. I wouldn't even bother to write an ejection report. I would just pack it in. I can imagine the smiles from a committee when they hear that coach A was tossed for arguing balls and strikes with YOU. I agree with Tee's statements about ejections. Throw the wrong guy out and you'll be looking for a new line of work. Careers are shortened and you will be scratched. Let's not fuss over details. Let the coach exchange words and remember those 3 P's before any ejection. Brutal wasn't one them.

Some people only understand winning and what's fair doesn't begin to enter the picture. Every call against one team is a bad call. You come to expect comments from one side or the other at a critical juncture. Coaches feel they have to say something to defend a player or to motivate the team. A real coach isn't afraid to step out and state his case or ask for an explanation after his team has been slighted. He doesn't go out there to say the ump has been doing a good job all day.
