I had two ejections tonight in a varsity summer game, FED rules. R2 tries to score on a base hit with two outs. The catcher is waiting for him with the ball, R2 doesn't try to slide or avoid contact and ends up putting the catcher on his back. I give him a casual "toss" for the MC. The HC comes down from the third base coaches box and can't believe his player has been ejected. After I explain it, he tells me that it's "bull****" which gets him dumped too. As my partner helps get him moving toward the exit, he tells me that I don't know the game and that I shouldn't be working varsity baseball. I didn't come back with anything, just gave him the "Okay" and nod then ignored him.
