I would have told the coach that if the catcher did not start doing her job that I would eject him from the game. Sending a player, who has never played the position including in practice, to play the catcher's position just proves what an idiot the coach is.
No good coach would put his player in this position. As you said, we are not backstops.

So how many would you eject if the team simply had no one available who had ever caught before (perhaps their only catcher had gotten hurt, sick, was at a soccer game, etc ... or perhaps even ejected earlier in the game). There's a difference between a player who is able to field the position not doing their job and letting us get hit, and a player who is simply unable to do the job.
