Would you have dumped him?

Thanks for your response, Bobby. The reason I said I didn't think this would warrant an ejection in a college or professional game is because I've seen similar situations in single A games where the crew simply ignored the player.

If something likes this gets your dander up, you must lose focus very easily when working the dish if player, coach or fan slightly gets on your strike zone. Game management skills seem to be lacking.

I'm not sure what this might have to do with a spectator giving me a hard time and my losing focus easily. I'll take into consideration what a supposedly experienced umpire who's never had an ejection.............ever, has to say about my game management skills and do my best to do the polar opposite of his advice. What happens in the dugouts is not my concern unless I feel it's going to spill over onto the field.

Tim.

you've got to understand that A ball is good for watching some things, and not so good for watching other things. mechanics, positioning, hustle, and things of that nature can be helpful to watch. game management and situations, however...i would say that as often as not you might be able to learn what not to do rather than what to do. these guys are getting their first taste of arguments and ejections. that kind of crap doesn't happen often in the roast, so they don't have much experience. but that is what A ball is for; learning. learn by doing it right, learn by doing it wrong. whatever. just learn.

What gives you the idea I've never had an ejection? Have you ever worked or seen me work? We all know what happens when you assume. Making stuff up is for little kids. I'm sure you're one of those umpires that has to eject because you can't help from becoming confrontational yourself. Don't tell me you haven't. You fit the prototype very nicely, I must say.

And what happens in the dugout is no concern to you unless it going to spill out into the field? They charging the mound and brawling in your games? Careful you don't get bit on the ankle by one of those little buggers.

Well, I did ask you earlier today if you'd had an ejection yet and you said no. I just assumed you were telling the truth. My bad...............

And if tossing a player for throwing equipment on the field makes me confrontational, count me as confrontational every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

This is easy. He removed his helmet on the playing field. His team is getting a warning. He threw the hemet against the fence, his team is getting a warning and he gets to watch the rest of the game from the bench. The thrown hat sealed the deal.

Yes, your judgment is bad...........

Thanks for proving my point by not answering a very simple direct question.

Alright Mr. Never Ejected Anyone, I'll answer your very simple-minded direct question. Oh, which one of the four do you want answered? I will guess that you meant the first of the four questions you asked Tim: How do we know you've never had an ejection?

The answer is that you have told us before that you have never ejected anyone, you have been asked periodically over the past 2 years if that has changed, and you have never responded in the affirmative to our very simple direct questions. No, not once.

So, clown, you have never ejected anyone and therefore still have not been doing your job properly, like I told you 2 years ago.

Now, I'm just more confused.
