Admittedly, even if they did get between them, I'm not sure what they could have done to get them to quit jawing with each other.
What would you have done to try to mitigate the problem?

Since I am not a Minor League Ump I'm not sure what I would do. I am sure these guys are trained what they can and can't do in a potentionally violent situation so I'm not going to Mon. night QB them. In the High School age that I work I may try to stand between them, but I am not going to put my hands on them, and If I see that blows are about to be exchanged I'm out of harms way and writing numbers and names and getting someone to call the Police.
I am not there to break up fights. I do that at my full time job. Luckilly I don't Umpire in the same Jurisdiction that I work, so according to my Dept I am expected to call 911 only.
