I like this, but I give skip one more chance. I first tell my partner what I told the manager. Next, I tell my partner that he needs to go tell the manager to get in the dugout. (In fact, I did something just like that this past season, and my partner was about 20 years senior to me.)

If skip wants to get in partner's face, well partner deserves that and can eject skip himself. If partner won't go, I'll eject him right now; but partner probably wont' like that. Once we've said everyone's in the dugout (at the frickin plate meeting no less!), everyone better be in the dugout.
