Why would you make them move from the back stop to the stands?

Because I'm not going to have some idiot standing behind me, who's sole purpose is criticizing my strike zone.

what happens if they say anything from the stands?

Who cares what they say from the stands? They paid their usually nothin' to get in, and can boo and hiss all they please.

Often time fans bring lawn chairs and sit directly behind the plate to a certain extent. Do you make them pile into the stands

I also have no problem with people setting up their lawn chairs behind home plate. I'm talking about obnoxious people who are just standing trying to disrupt my working the plate, and are not actually there to root for their team. I know when to say something and when not to. In well over 3,000 games, I can count on one hand the number of times I've made someone move from behind the screen.
