Sounds like either this guy is very tightly wound, or he is used to Bubba league SP teams that try to keep the score 1 below the mercy rule just so they can keep playing. Or both.
With no outs, runners at the corners, and only needing one more run for the game to be over, he was way over the top. Now, if you were having every batter swing wildly to get to 3 outs without scoring that run, he may have a legitimate need to give a warning.
As to the next night, that game was already well past the mercy rule limit. This guy is stuck on this hastening rule thing.
BTW, what rule set are you using?
