First, HS and below, and to a certain extent college baseball is not the same game as Pro Ball. There are safety and sportsmanship rules used at those levels that do not apply to the pro game. In the pro game there are certain situations where we let the players settle things, and ways that we communicate that are not available to umpires in non pro games. That being said, trying to take action on information you heard while not in the same room might be difficult to rally support for. As for the comments about the Umpiring crew, keep that in mind and remember that when dealing with this rat. The language part is for the players/school admin/parents to handle. And here is why: If the players don't go to there parents or AD, more than likely they will keep quiet or deny it when questioned. On the field behavior is part of your jurisdiction.
