Double forfeit.

If the state won't enforce that, then MC on the catcher.

Bob:

I agree with you. In fact it was pretty close to MC by both F2 and the Runner with Runner on the losing end of the contact.

AAh, good old fashion baseball... Thanks for bringing back the memories of youth...

But Bob's right, double forfeit. The good old days are over.....

It does appear that the runner instigated it, but then the catcher continued it by hovering over his kill. Had no fight occurred, I got both of them ejected. The runner for M/C and then the catcher for his unsportsmanlike conduct. I dont consider a glove sammich (spelled that way on purpose) M/C when the catcher is put in this situation....

I've got an immediate ejection on the runner for MC. Ejection on the catcher for his response to the MC.

I thought the umpires did a fine job of restoring order, with the help of a deputy. But I don't see how they allowed this game to continue.

3-3-Q... A coach, player substitute, attendant or other bench personnel shall not leave their positions or bench area for the purpose of fighting or physical confrontation.
PENALTY... The umpire shall eject the offender from the game. (A coach who attempts to prevent a fight or restore order is not in violation of the rule).

If I'm in a game where both benches empty, I don't foresee allowing it to continue.

Agree with Bob. No way would I be sticking around for a sequel
