I agree with all the other posts here (well all that I scanned
) this is an association suspension / ejection. We as umpires deal with items within the confines of the field, this is clearly not within those confines. If the Association that rules your area wants to levy a penalty on that player, then that is within thier power to do. BUT it needs to come from them, NOT the umpires. That player did nothing wrong that game while we were administering the rules on the diamond it's not ours to deal with!
Another point if we have a new Easton visual technology bat that is made to show delamination and we see a white line up and down the bat equal on two sides (very distinct indication that the bat has been rolled) what do we as umpires do? We tell them they can't use that bat in this contest.....we don't suspend / eject them, so why or how could we eject them for failing a test that someone else performed with a piece of equipment that is not even mentioned in our rules of enforcement (rulebook).
