It looked like a discussion, not an argument.

What did the ump say?

In all fairness to Dan, most posts on this site lately have been a WOBW, including this one pointing that out, and every other post in this thread.

Dan:

I think the young umpire did a great job of restraining himself from dumping that coach. We don't need to be questioned on our calls, even when they're a make up call because we're upset with a certain player or team. If they give you a hard time on a call, screw em' on the next one. That'll learn em' not to mess with you.

Yes he did Tim. But you believe in that practice of "screwing"? Seems to me it will just add fuel to the fire.

The technique illustrated in the referenced video, known as an "FYC," is an advanced concept that is very, very rarely suitable for use in a youth, amateur or scholastic baseball game. At Dan's level, warn/eject is the only proper way to deal with discipline/order issues.

honestly, pretty much everything posted here during the offseason is a WOBW since we have nothing to talk about and we just throw random things out there to get discussion going which turns out 98% of the time to be a WOBW.

Also there are no coaches pop their head in to ask questions to get us talking like "My pitcher hit the batter in the hands and the ball rolled fair and the catcher threw him out, but the umpire called it a hit batter. I told him that everyone knows hands are part of the bat and he said that's not true. Who is right???"


....then again, maybe that's a good thing. haha
