Unfortunately baseball does not have a "team suffering" penalty as does basketball and football other then ejection.

Also, for the most part I think most organizations have an automatic one game suspension to try and clean-up the league.

If it's one of the "stud" players then the team will suffer, but if it's a marginal player then for the most part the team will not suffer.

It would be nice to get an extra out for a "personal foul" in baseball. I know us umpires wouldn't complain.

Ejection. Depends. Has stuff like this been going on for the entire game? Was it frustration with the call a or frustration directed at himself. I may or may not.

In a heartbeat, and without hesitation.


What's wrong with you guys, getting soft in your old age?

In my area we are instructed that this is a mandatory ejection. This includes throwing any equipment.

No ejection if the player catches the thrown equipment before it hits the ground.

I finally got a chance to watch the video.

Ejection.

The kid (and coaches) have a right to be mad, but he (they) also have to learn the correct way to express it.
