Why are umps in general so reluctant to run a coach or player? As a fan, I'm sick and tired of the same coaches or players doing things that are clearly within the realm of being runable offenses, but umps, in general, just seem to continue to warn them.
I love it when an ump takes charge right up front and lets everyone know he won't take a lot of garbage. I like it even better when an ump will stop a coach before he even gets out of the dugout and avoids the situation altogether.
I go to a game to watch players play baseball not to see some insecure adult showing his ignorance and holding up the game. I also don't especially like to hear F-bombs" being dropped all over the place at a HS or below game.
