That last about five minutes and then, suddenly, the base umpire waves a guy from the B position. "Number twenty-six is out of the game for orchestrating!"
M-W Orchestrate: 2: to arrange or combine so as to achieve a desired or maximum effect (orchestrated preparations for the banquet)

So he tossed 26 for setting up and leading the chanting that they were told to tone down. Who would you have tossed?
