If I walk away from him and leave him standing somewhere on the field, he is going to be alone - and ticked. More like to chase after me.

If he is outside the chalk when I walk away, he better not cross the lines. That is asking for the parking lot.

So what happens if you're the rabbit and the coach is in the 1B dugout?

I personally wouldn't have such hard and fast rules about where a coach stands. I'd rather be able to stand my ground, have a quick conversation without being adversarial, and get the game moving again.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
