Defensive coach wasn't happy and thought about protesting, but he didn't.
Comments?

TWP to be sure, hard to see how he could intentionally kick a ground ball unless its a very very slow roller.
But, don't know what the umpire was thinking. I can't remember finding a rule about kicking the ball unless its kicked out of play deliberately.
But maybe I missed something.
Thanks
