Player Ejection Volume II

I might not have had such a conversation with the umpire if a high 70s fastball drilled me in the bicep. For anyone that has been hit by a pitch and not given 1st base, no matter the situation, is enough to piss you off.

I don't know where you play, but around here in summer league the guys want to HIT.

We have lots of our college players and wantabes that will try their best to stay in the box even if they are hit (of course this would be a marginal hit)

Whether the umpire is qualified or not, he still is the umpire. Part of being a good player is knowing how to respond to different umpires.

You have to know which ones you can talk to and which ones you can't.

Thanks
David
