Ejected?
Disqualified?
Out?
If a player is ejected, is an out necessarily called?
If a participant is disqualified, is an out also called?
Personally, any action by the offense that I felt was worthy of an ejection (like intentionally/deliberatly throwing the bat - FED-3-3-1r Penalty) has also resulted in an out. Is this wrong - can a player be ejected and then be replaced on the base? Essentially, not calling an out means no penalty to the team - only that the player can no longer participate. This sounds more like a disqualification than an ejection.
Also, FED 3-3-1b, ... shall not carelessly throw a bat; PENALTY: issue a team warning to the coach... next offender shall be restricted to the dugout (disqualified?) Is this where the Batter-runner would be replaced?
Somebody please explain. I rarely work at levels where anyone throws the bat... unless it is a deliberate act of anger.
The few ejections I have made, have been of defensive players and coaches, not bat throwers.
