Then he keeps like acting big and all for the rest of the game until the fourth quarter when he's goes like "do you even have a flag?" So, I'm all like had enough of this moron, you know, so I say, "sure do, but it's going like to cost you 15 yards to see it" and I'm all throwing my flag in the air and calling unsportsmanlike on this sick dude.

Then I get home and see how everyone's all going on this thread and like it's like deja vu dude.

Good try Garth but you has to learn to like mismatch subjects and verbs more better also verb tenses. Good non-use of the period they is just extry stuff anyways.

My onliest advice to Dan is to like stay in school.

Just to add a bit to what Steve said, your partner should have told the coach that if he wanted to talk about the call he'd have to see you. And keep this in mind if a coach ever wants to talk to you about your partner's call.

I agree. And, Dan, you should have told the coach the same thing when he started toward your partner. "Coach, that was my call. If you want to discuss it, come see me."

Had the coach got that far, im sure my partner would have a turned his A$$ around. This coach has known to be trouble coach. Loves gettin in umpire's grill. I wont argue with a coach on a judgement call. You know funny thing after that, Next day, im waiting around before a game at the consession stand with another ump, and the coach came up to me and said "I wasnt questioning your judgement last night" I said yes you were. Why else do u want me to go for help when i already made a call?? He was speechless.

You should NEVER EVER EVER tell a coach, "Coach if you do (or don't do) X, you're going to be ejected." NEVER.

Agreed! The very few times I have had a coach wishing jump out of a dugout a simple "don't come out here" usually gets the point across without the threat.

His partner was barely mentioned. What exactly in the OP do you find problematical as far as the PU's behavior?

Don't EVER let reputation or history effect the way you deal with a coach. First time, or 50th time - react the same way.

Wow, you are street. I'm impressed. And at the tender age of 12. Cool 4 U.

U want constructive help from this board, U need to learn to speak like you are older than 12. Yaknowwhatimsayin?

My apologies for the typo. I meant to delete wishing but forgot.

That is another reason not to hang around the concession stand by the way.

I know that Tee thinks Dan's a troll, but textual analysis suggests that he is an authentic juvenile. Garth's parody is "bonus," (a slang expression I like because it is -presumably unwittingly - etymologically correct!) but obviously the work of someone who actually knows the rules of grammar - to expert eyes, an obvious forgery.

Or.....maybe Garth meant "entomologically" because the kid is bugging him.

Runners @ 3rd and 2nd, plate umpires responsibility #1 Fair/Foul #2 runner from third touch home or a play at home on runner from third.
If U-1 is watching for pulled foot @1st, U-1 isn't tracking his own responsibility.
U-2 is on his own unless U-1 isn't doing his job

[LakeErieUmp]

What would I do in this situation? One thing I'd do is not be in "C" in little ball with runners on second and third. Far more likely to be a play at first (as there was) then any action on the left side of the field.
