Ejections

[Rcichon]

Here's the Sitch:
LL 9-10YO Local Tournament (not District).

I make a bang-bang at 3 for the third out. 3rd inning, tie score, 95 degrees.

Base coach (whom is the Manager) says, "he was safe, you were out of position. That's a horrible call" loud enough for all to hear and especially for me who is about 10 feet from him.
Me: "you know better than to argue coach, that's enough".
Him: "I wasn't talking to you".
Me: "You say it loud enough for me to hear and you're talking to me".

He shut up and I made my way to the PU whom is inexperienced but has a decent foundation of the rules. I told him that he [Manager] was warned and I'm going to walk away from this guy now. To right field I go.

As we're waiting for the Visiting pitcher to complete warmups, I hear him [Manager] saying "he was out of position". I turned to look at him & he says "he was safe, he made a horrible call". Again loud enough for ALL to hear and while looking at me. PU does nothing. I cannot ignore this so I walked up to the dugout and I ejected him.

Should'nt the PU have interjected before I got to the guy? He told me after the game that he heard the Manager and Coaches chirping the call the entire time during warmup. As PU I would have tried to shut them up quickly.

What would you have done if you were me? Or PU?

BTW: the TD whom was the Coach of this team advised me I was, "Out of Line".

Ain't LL Great?
