I'm not the enemy.
 

Junior High Championship Game. Bases empty. 2 out of 3 pitches come whizzing by my head [I]without[I] the catcher even lifting his glove to catch the ball. I stop the cather on his way back from the mound to tell him to at least make an attempt to catch the ball. With or without the mask I have to work in the morning.

Coach comes out and asks what I told his catcher. I told him and he said, "He didn't do it on purpose." "I know coach but I want to be able to make calls without thinking the balls gonna take my mask off." :eek:

He then does the typical rat dance - turning away with arms in the air in disgust.

I would have said, "fine, then I won't eject him on purpose either".

What a great idea - an unintentional ejection! Dump him (or her for FP softball), tell the coach it was an accident, and watch the reaction. Even better than spraying FreezeSpray on spiders!

How did they manage to get to the Championship Game with a catcher that can't catch?

welcome to junior high baseball

I don't know how they got to the big game. Their pitcher was pretty good though. I guess too fast for the F2. Is it really appropriate to eject in a situation like this??

It was a favor for my wife. She's an AD in the district.

id be hard pressed to ever eject an F2 for not catching the ball, especially a junior high level one.

Not only are you the enemy...

You're the reason they didn't win.

And if they did win, they did it despite you !
