As Bob has already stated,"Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from poor judgment."
Two past incidents that stand out in my mind. Amateur Ball. R3 taking a lead and yelling at the pitcher during his wind up. Obvious, yes. Did we eject, no. Could we have, yes. Instead it was a quick "Time, with a warning.
Batter in box. R3, tied score, bott of 7th. Legion ball. Batter steps to front of box, turns a 360 and gets set again. Pitcher balks. I call time and "Do over." Was the batter attempting to bring the winning run home? I thought so but, I choose to handle it differntly. HC argues that there is no such thing as a do-over and I explain that my other alternative is to eject the batter.
I realize this may have been handled differently by others here including myself at higher levels of ball but, I just wanted to point out two situations I have seen.
