I believe that I'm about 90% positive that I'd have ejected this guy for coming onto the field during a live ball. And I KNOW I'd have left the runner on 2nd ... what was the umpire's justification for putting the runner back?

I'm asking that too...sounds like a pretty good move on the part of the defense...take the ejection, claim ignorance, and keep the tying run at 1st base...not a bad strategy...

Except that the runner will get 2nd - or more if they keep going while the coach is out there distracting his pitcher.

Precisely...but if PU puts R1 back on 1st...it's wrong, but sounds as though it's been done, it then becomes a great strategy on behalf of the defensive coach...

Idiot Coach and Idiot Umpire.

Just say, "NO!"

When the idiot questions you, hold him up until play relaxes.

"Ok, NOW you have time coach."
