I think the conversation went like this:

Coach: (walking towards the umpire) Blue, that restaurant you recommended last night was the worst place I have ever eaten at!

Umpire: Well, what did you order?

Coach: (now standing on the field in front of umpire) I had the Oyster Rockefeller. I was on the can all night.

Umpire: It a Rib Shack. Why would you order the oysters?

Coach: (now turning and using both hand to gesture towards his runner) Johnny had the same thing. Look at him, he can barely sprint.

Umpire: Coach in my judgment that’s a great restaurant. My choice stands.

Coach: (walking away): Your culinary choice stinks!

Umpire: (big hook) You’re out of here!

Umpire: Oh and by the way, check out the chops at the Mad Cow Inn out on Route 48. They’re heavenly.


Hey, it could happen.

Alot is being made about the umpire not scurrying back to his position. If you notice..as soon as he makes the out call...he starts to take a couple steps backward, even starting to turn sideways...indicating to me he is heading back to his position, when the 3rd base coach comes out on him.
Umpire stops...both have their say..and moves on. About the only thing I see is maybe he couldve shut down the coach a bit quicker, holding up a hand, tell him to get his carcass back in the box.
Run him for that? Yeah, I guess maybe, if he says one of the magic words.
But your much better served on game management if you dont. Because the way it plays here...the throw comes in..looks like an out..you whack it.
Coach voices his momentary displeasure...you give him a quick "nope...tag was there"...and its over.
Makes it look like you handled everything start to finish, that your the one in control.
