My favorite: in a solo game, catcher asks me to appeal the check swing. So I holler down: "Coach, did he go?"

Coach nearly always says "No." Had one ring him up, though. ;)

At that point, I smiled and said, "there's your problem."

Situation:
OBR, R1, 2 outs, dropped third strike.

In the previous inning he had complained about an infield fly not being called with R1 only.

Now tell me guys, is that really how it works it New York?

You would have dumped him for that? Wow.

I believe this is the part that Tim was referring to. The word YOU makes it personal, and he got personal exactly twice. Buh-bye!

It's a universal situation.

"You guys don't know the rules!" is the implicit meaning of pulling out a rulebook; we would all eject for that. If we would eject for the symbol, we should eject when the statement is explicit.

If a player yelled out, "That pitch was 4 inches outside!" rather than drawing a line in the dirt, wouldn't we dump him?

Not giving up nine runs in the first place.

Chacon stunk up the joint. Randy has lately too.

Twice you missed your chance to run him.

i was at two games today as a fan (double header at two different schools, makeups) and the second had one of the worst rats ive seen at the HS varsity level. in the first inning he was chirping at ball/strike calls on the corner and yelled "and that is why you were banned from working plainfield south games". later on hes chirping more and full sprints out of the dugout towards the plate to show his disgust. more chirping, then theres a close play at 2nd base and he is full, all out sprinting to the base umpire while flailing his arms screaming.

no ejection, no warnings, and between innings he was their best friend. it made no sense at all to me. i had him tossed after the 3rd batter
