Durham is exactly right. I had the situation in a game several years ago that taught me an incredible lesson. You can't ignore situations that you have a responsibility to handle. Pretty much the exact situation that Durham had in his game. BR legs a triple out, hard slide, there is an 'entanglement' at 3b.
Both players come up shouldering each other, glaring, testosterone flowing freely!! I am PU, BU doesn't say a thing, I don't because it's 'his job'. Long story short, by games end 8 players are ejected, police are standing by for he rumble in the parking lot after the game!!!
Last season, two teams are playing that have a 'history' together, unknown to us. Assistant coach in 3b box starts jabbering at the pitcher. We call time, warn HC about addressing players other then his. Warn the other team, about the same thing. Very next pitch, F1 throws behind the batter. Me PU...he's gone!!! Clearly intentional, and I warn both bench's. Things settle way down, only 1 EJ, game continues without incident (Other than the pitcher's loud mouth Mom chewing my butt after the game).
