Both coaches showed class
NJ coach needs to learn this isn't baseball.

The call at 1B involving the safety base was a good call. If I remember though, the umpire made it look questionable with his hesitation on the safe signal. The coach's argument with the BU was absurd. It seemed the umpire explained his call, but coach wouldn't stop talking so the BU just shut down. I have no problem with that. An explanation is all the coach is due. Then the coach whined to the PU that the BU wouldn't answer his question.

When walking away with the PU, the coach kept repeating that the ball beat the runner. Yeah, so?
