I would not have heard the comments - chatter coming from someone venting in the dugout has to be EXTREMELY long, or EXTREMELY offensive to even get my attention. (Now have this same coach run out on to the field yelling that, and I agree ... buh bye coach).

That sentence, screamed as it was in the video, is an ejection. Not because of the word "you" but because of the obnoxious nature of the rest of it.

SP softball umpires only survive in these leagues one way. Have a hair trigger and eject anyone that even looks at you funny. Otherwise, you get what we have on the video.

I tried doing this back when I was a younger umpire and I just realized I'd rather stay home than do this crap. Of course I feel the same way about ALL softball now.

I'm sorry, who are you again? We once had a poster named clips2, but he left and said he wasn't coming back. To which we all said, "AMEN!"

Uh, Rich ... what are you referring to? I see no video in this thread, and was answering LLDan's OP. You referring to something else?

I'm pretty sure I answered it pretty directly, and answered his follow up as well. You read English? (PS - 'LOL' on the end of your own lame joke is pretty absurd - you LOL OTHER people's jokes if you think they are funny.)

I'd give him a glare or maybe a verbal b4 ejecting him next time.

I think he was talking about the three videos posted under the thread "Absolutely Disgusting".

I once had a coach tell me that I was "ruining this game for the kids", when I was simply enforcing a rule that was necessary to call (automatic end of continuous play at a young level so that the kids don't overthrow to the point that every batter gets a homerun). I didn't toss him, but should have as that's a personal comment and I take it as an insult that he would say that.

I'd probably just continue to stare at him until PU signaled "play".

Then on with the game. Normally a glare will either a) get him to shut up because he feels a threat to his existence in the park or b) get him to be 1) personal 2) profane 3) prolonged

Either way we get a solution to the problem

Edited a couple minutes after my post (after thinking about it some more):

I would look away at first and not have rabbit ears. If I felt he was getting more than just an initial reaction or opinion in there, and really yelling at ME, then I'd probably start my glare.

Edited a couple minutes after as well because I spelled "Edited" "Editted"

"You missed that call, you know it, and everyone else here knows it."


If this yahoo is yelling this, as indicated in the OP, and this yelling can be clearly heard by the fans, he's trying to show me up and he is gone.

This goes beyond a "you missed that one" or "are you sure about that last call" or "that was bad call."

The combination of the yelling and the accusation equal an early exit.

I think that if the "y word" was and had been repeatedly used throughout the game, that would warrant an ejection. But not the first or second time. If it is something like "you #$%& suck" or something to that effect, then it is different, and probably doesnt call for an ejection.

Say what? Don't get what you are trying to say ... when the coach says "you" he's asking for an ejection period.

Thanks

How about if he says, "You need a drink of water, blue?"

Do you run him then?

No, but I'm watching closely to see what he's put in my water ...

Never, never trust a coach, period!

Thanks

If coaches and players didn't lie and cheat, they wouldn't need umpires.
