Why I only do baseball, not adult softball

[tiger49]

I agree with you 100% greymule. I had a game last year that took off just like that. Everything fine until bottom of 6 when the batter swings and fouls off a pitch. Partner on the plate points down to me and asks "Did he foul that off?" (That in itself is a whole other post) however I confirmed that yes he did. A couple of pitches later the batter walks in which ball four gets by the catcher and to the backstop and the batter takes off and rounds first and heads for second. During this time F4 yells out "You guys are ****** brutal we had him out twice" but wait he is not done. He takes the throw at 2nd in which the BR beat out and was safe. F4 now while play has yet to stop immedianley after seeing the BR called safe fires the ball into DBT while yelling "This is ****** bull****" I was going to toss F4 after the intial comment but had to hightail it out the BR's path. Once action is stopped F4 is ejected and the BR awarded home on the throw into DBT.

Needless to say 2 more ejections soon followed and the police eventually called and throughout all of this the player manager did absolutely nothing, except pay our association a $750 bond for the hassle.

F4 ended up getting a 27 game suspension in which he still has 20 games to serve, as well he has to put up a $500 bond against any further ejection.

This was adult baseball with mainly ex-college players.
