Worthy of Ejection?

If the 3rd strike he swung at was inside, I would say "yep", in an adult game.

The comment the batter made was about the strike two pitch, looking. It was a cutter or slider from a right handed pitcher to a left handed batter. Strike three swinging was on a fat fastball. Of course my call on strike two caused the batter to swing and miss strike three!

As several wise posters have already noted: Welcome to men's league baseball.
After the batter makes his comment you have several choices in men's league:
1) Dump him
2) Ignore him
3) Agree with him
4) Apologize to him for missing the pitch
5) Laugh at him
6) Get him next time
7) Walk off the field

Needless to say you have fewer choices on more "organized" levels of baseball.

BTW, other posters, how many of these 7 choices have you used in men's league?

It's clear now, your assigner is a jerk. Did he give a reason that you were wrong to eject?
