Runner attempts to advance during dead ball

[jicecone]

Lets get this straight.

We want to eject players at this level because of our lack of competence.

If your even re-starting the game without making sure the runners are in their proper position, you probably should eject yourself and hand back your schedule because you don't belong at the level to begin with.

AWARENESS

Anyone can toss people from ballgames wether its your first or last game.

Good officials understand when to.

Puh-leeze! I've tossed my share of pitchers over the years. I'm known as an umpire who doesn't tolerate bullschit. I'm also one who understands the game takes care of itself. If I see a runner sliding in with spikes high, I pretty much know that odds are greater said runner is going to hear a little chin music next time up.

I think we'll just have to A2D on this.
