With me, he never would have made it to the "BETTER call them both ways" part. The point put him in my sight and the "you" pulled the trigger.
Does everyone believe he is as tough as he says?
I know what I would do because it actually had this happen to me two years ago. It was the first inning of the back-end of an 8:30 PM double header. I made a call on a banger at 1B (safe). F3 *****ed at F6 for taking his time throwing the ball to 1B.

He then turned toward me, pointed and started, "And you...". It was unbelieveable how loud the moan from his own team was. This team (LA Rockers playing Vision Scene) had two player/umpires, there were no substitutes available and they knew I would dump him. He was gone, game was over and I didn't get one complaint. Even the scorekeeper (ejected player's wife) was ragging on him for being so stupid.

I had to ask one of them what the rest of his statement was because I didn't care at the time.
