You're in A, close play at first, you have him safe. You start to pivot into B as the ball is being returned to F1 when head rat yells from his cage "CALL IT BOTH WAYS".

What do you say back, it its the 2nd time he's said it to you?

Sitch B...

You're PU. Strike 3 called, 3rd out. As 3rd base coach (who is also HC) walks by to return to dugout, he says "you gotta give our pitcher that too." What is your reply? Note: He never stops walking and keeps on to the dugout.

Sitch C...

Same as B, but its an overly obnoxious assistant.

Others with experience other than Garth, please chime in with your responses.

A. Like I said, he'll get to say it once, but never three times. After the first time he'll be told "Don''t question my ethics." If it starts to leave his lips again, he'll be gone.

B. If he continues walking away, I will not follow him, but I will suggest loudly enough for him that both pitchers will get what they throw.

C. An assistant? If it's his first crack, I'll ignore him. If he's a repeat offender, he's done.
