Had a game couple years back where the Home HC starts arguing the Vis batter is out of box. Pitch after pitch telling me I gotta take care of it. Well, it would help if there were actual lines on the field. Next time, get the chalk out of the closet during lunch and YOU take care of it. ![]() So Rut, just how many nails in Lloyd's coffin was that Duck thrashing? This is my 100th post. I know you're all happy for me. ![]() |

I saw this video a long while ago, and was surprised the umpire put up with as much as he did. First thing I would do here is tell the coach that he doesn't need to broadcast his argument to the fans. If he keeps speaking loudly, then we might have a problem. Arguing to the point that everybody can hear what you are saying is just as bad as drawing a line IMO.

Mistake 1: Calling the batter out for being out of the box.
Mistake 2: This isn't a regulation box; no wait, the front line is regulation but not the back line; um, no, the regulations don't matter...yeah, that's the ticket... Mistake 3: Continuing to discuss with the coach; eat your bad call and move on.

Do I dump this coach? No, I don't see anything that warrants an ejection. The fact that he continued discussing the call as long as he did was the fault of the PU. Did he pull out a rule book? If so, I didn't see it.
As far as the batter's box is concerned, the batters front foot looked to be out of the box. Whether the box was drawn correctly, who knows. Don't most coach's notice a box that is drawn too small? I also have asked boxes to be redrawn if they are wrong.

In my many years of umpiring I have seen some pretty weird batters boxes, most of which I have erased and gone with nothing or had them re lined. I dont recall having to call a batter out for being out of a box (drawn or not) but have warned a few for it.
