Don't you love when coaches say "learn the rules blue" and they are 100% wrong?

Ok, so it is a very hot day (which has no relevance on the story), and the pitcher is having difficulty. There is a runner on third and a 3-0 count. "Ball four, take your base”, the batter goes to first and the runner at third advances a couple steps. Neither the pitcher nor the catcher sees him. He moves a few more steps. The catcher returns the ball towards the pitcher and the runner on third takes off. By the time the pitcher catches the ball and realizes what has happened the runner has already scored.

So then the coach says, "hey blue did you walk the batter?"

I respond, "Yes, can’t you see her on first?"

The coach says, "Then the runner can’t advance, that run shouldn't count, he should have to go back to third, it’s a dead ball."

And i said "No the run counts"

The coach than says, " Well than maybe you should read the rule book blue"

I look back at the dug out and said "you are dead wrong the only thing you said that was accurate was the fact that the batter was walked, now sit down and shut up." I turned back to the catcher and said "Pitch now" and the idiot sat down and shut up.

I just find it so funny when the coaches open their mouths and show how little they know. I mean I lost all respect for that coach at that moment and was ready to eject him if he said one more word.
