Rut, look at it this way. He has to walk all the way out there to talk to you. You get your jollies, then he has to walk all the way back while you get to just stand there!

Was he trying this slow walk out and slow walk in to get more warm-up pitches for his pitcher? They use this ploy of nicely talking to you or asking questions when bringing in the relievers also, trying divert your attention from the number of warm-up pitches their pitcher is taking to get him any extra ones they can get. Never underestimate a rat.

Wait a minute. If I am HP umpire that pitcher gets 5 pitches or eight if he is new. This will be enforced even if his mother runs out on the field. (then again if its 10 year olds, never mind ,I won't go there)
There is nothing wrong with being approachable during a game, no matter where you are standing. Remember though, perception is in your favor here. That coach came all that way to make a point, just about any reason you toss him for at that point, he will look like the aggressor. Your in a win-win situation. But as much as you have the upper hand there, be professional. |

I'd rather he visit me between innings than hold up the game.
If he wants to argue the last out of an inning, I might wait for a second until he starts coming towards me, then make him chase me all the way to right field. I might even alter my path to kick first base, then go as deep into right field as I can, or even go into right-center field; anything to make him run more. Then when he finally reaches me I might grin at him and say "you have a nice run?". |

One of the reasons we go out into short RF is to get away from coaches at the end of a half inning. That way if they choose to come out to "talk" with us, they will appear to be the "instigator" or "aggressor" should the discussion escalate.
If they want to come out in this manner, I do not go meet them halfway. As others have said, I will answer their question as calmly and professionally as possible. JJ |
