I'd say, "Get the F back in left field where you belong."

Okay -- maybe not. But, I'm not adding to the call or discussing it now.

Agreed. That would be the absolute WORST time for BU to go have a discussion with PU. Turn around and jog to the outfield as soon as time is called for the conference.

Well now, some LL umpires I know will go stand by the mound to count warm-up pitches, then tell the new pitcher the outs, runners, etc.

I refuse to participate in these antics, and this practice is changing for the better in my area.

Sad to say...when I first started out and was doing only LL, this is how they taught us. I hope they've since changed that but who knows.
