The great thing about baseball is you can say a lot of things in the middle of the field that no one can hear.

I just usually am straight forward with coaches and tell them what I saw or what point I want to get across. I tend to talk an octave lower than the coach so they will lower their voice. I rarely have to eject coaches because if you appeal to their professionalism and sometimes manhood (the way they treat you), you can squelch most major confrontations. I do not think I ejected a single coach last year. Then again there is an art to what I told you. It took some time to know how to be calm in these situations.

Peace
