Forgive you for what? Were watching something else than ball?

and saw these two clips of missed ejections.

Besides the PU failing to toss the pitcher, what do you think of his partner's actions?

PU watched R3 X th eplat, good. Then he should have calmly ejected F1. Thats' a given.

To follow F1, allowing the coach to become the hero by stepping in between (good job Coach), was a major boo-boo.

PU didn't miss the call, up and in, LHP to LHB, on a 3 ball count with loaded, sorry, ain't gonna get it.

A competent umpre would have taken a deeep breath, made sure R3 touches, all Rs reach their bases, and with little overt action, ejected F1. If Coach isn't out of the dugout, then with "T" in place, he would inform Coach his LHP is showering.
