Bases loaded,bottom of 2nd inning.
Batter takes position in the Box, I see our manager coming over from the office giving the "slashing throat gesture" indicating that we stop play.
I'm the BU and see the boss man coming plate umpire cannot see this.
I immediatley call "Time!" and start motioning for the players to seek shelter.
as I'm walking towards His dugout to head for the hills he chose some salty words to describe me and complain about us stopping the game with Him(considered there best hitter) at the plate with no outs bases loaded.
I didnt say anything. My questions are 1. could I have ejected him even though the game has stopped? would he Not be allowed to re-enter at a later time? 2. we were in the bottom of the 2nd as stated above, these games have been re-scheduled, so will we resume the game from where it was stopped or start a new game (like the Boss said we would)
As Always Thanks for comments and advice

Unless people talking to you like that turns you on..... Dump him. If you don't it will just make him that much harder to deal with next time....
