That excellent answer was post #4 in the thread. We are now on page 3. I love the interwebs.

Your agreement with, assessment of, or evaluation of the players strategies should have no bearing on enforcing the rules.

Take it easy. F2's coach is probably not thrilled with that throw either. F2's job is to keep runners from scoring and throwing the ball in a place where a teammate can't catch it is not the smartest move. Wade's description fits just fine.
In my games I've seen dumb moves by catchers, pitchers, batters, runners, coaches, even--yes--umpires.
