I agree. A coach telling a runner to go in the dugout so the mercy rule does not come into play... he gets nailed.

A coach taking a time out with a 1:30 to play.. is coaching.

A coach telling his runners to step off because his team is slaughtering the other team and he is invoking a "coaches mercy rule".. he's my hero.

That's what I mean, you must use judgment.
