Not around here. Saw a game his year where batter said something to plate ump after a called strike 3. Don't know what he said because it was not loud enough to be heard. He was tossed and he left quietly. The HC came running down the line to give PU his 2 cents worth and after a brief argument he was tossed.

No one else was tossed that day and no one else argued balls and strikes with the PU.

Tim.

1. No, there needs to be more there than that.
2. Possibly, but the F-Bomb makes it more likely.

My point, sometimes you have to use a stiletto instead of a broadsword to deal with situations like this. If it is any kind of serious baseball going on, strikes, outs, and a well placed word can do the job better than an ejection.

But with my philosophy being that players and managers eject themselves, not me, then the times the guy needs to go, and the times he doesn't become pretty clear when you see them.

I never got too much into that grammar $h1+ :D

Blank you very much for the explanation! :)
