Outside of Pro ball
1) Who cares from an umpire's standpoint.
2) Yes, he was slow. As soon as the batter is throwing his hands up and pointing at the plate, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!
3) They did as they always do. As long as it is One on One and hasn't gotten out of control, they let West do his job. Once Dawson left and Rigg stepped in, it was still One on One and Gregg was handling Dawson. Once he started with the bats, then they stepped in to help if possible.
For amateur ball, BU(s) should be there immediately since there is no telling what an idiot amateur player will do.
4) As soon as the bats come flying, that ball game is over for me. I am leaving mainly for my safety b/c I don't know what else or where else that idiot might be throwing things.
Remember, this is pro ball. They handle and tolerate things differently than we do with amateur players.
