Frankly, I find it hard to believe you're a D1 umpire, an Internet user, and you haven't heard of me. (grin)
Concerning eject the batter: I don't know where you get that. I said -- and I stick by it -- that at the highest levels, the FYC is a necessary and potent method of keeping control of the game. It's not for everyone, it's certainly not for every level of play, and it's clearly not something you like.
But we are better off approaching the game with an open mind rather than a moralistic one. Morality has little to do with baseball. (That's a piece of a different sort.)
