I saw this at a JC game. Home team starts out loud and then resorts to churlish chanting. UIC unofficially signals to them to tone it down, and a little later voices a directive to keep it sportsmanlike. That last about five minutes and then, suddenly, the base umpire waves a guy from the B position. "Number twenty-six is out of the game for orchestrating!"

M-W Orchestrate: 2: to arrange or combine so as to achieve a desired or maximum effect (orchestrated preparations for the banquet)

So he tossed 26 for setting up and leading the chanting that they were told to tone down. Who would you have tossed?

No, I agree! I loved it!

It was called against the opponent of my son's team and it happened while I was going on to those I was with about how bush it is and how they're using up all their energy chanting instead of playing a twin-bill.
