Tim.

Tim I had this happen to me a few years ago in a tournament.

I FIRST give the manager the opportunity to "police his own players" but if he can't then I picked the first person I saw and tossed him.

NOTE: Some umpires told me to tell the coach that if he doesn't control his team to toss The Stud F1, F2 or clean-up hitter, however, I also do not want a marathon on my hands either so if F1 is throwing strikes and F2 is stopping EVERYTHING I am also not stupid (That's debatable) , therefore, I tend to keep those players in the game if I can.
