I had this two weeks ago: Pitch way outside; lefty batter lays bat out there after the ball has been caught; catcher double-clutches and fails to nail the runner at second; I call interference on the batter, call him out and send the runner back and all hell breaks out.
Ridiculous. Coach teaches a bush maneuver and when someone finally rings him up on it, he makes a scene. "You're making that whole ruling up," he said.
It's a shame that so many of these programs have budget shortfalls. Eight more dollars and this coach could have a FED rule book.
