Play needs to be taken 3BX extended no questions asked.
Probably even a bit further towards 1B line as the swipe tag came through on the backside of the runner and that is the only position you can see through the bodies. 95% of close tag plays at the plate on batted balls should be taken 3BX anyways. That collision play really only happens if the ball is waiting there for the runner, other than that its always going to turn into swipe tag.
Player tossed his helmet a bit, I'm not looking to pick that booger. Never say never, who knows if something else was said or what. But just off the video PU seemed to lose control just the way he was walking around.
If I banged the out, I'd stay right where I was and deal with it if someone was looking for a confrontation. The player retreated to the dugout. That's where I want him to go. Unless he said something very bad, that EJ is just going to look bad. He's going away, let him go.
Then, I would NEVER turn around and say what he said to that AC. "You know what? You're done too?" Totally unprofessional. And I would NEVER return back to the plate once I walked away.
I won't pretend to know the history here or what was said, which could change everything. All I can go by is what I saw.
My jacket would probably be tucked in too.
