What part of GA's "It had nothing to do with him refusing to get in the box." did you not understand?

all he said was "i can take as much time as i want". he obviously didnt know the rules about the batter cant take as much time as they want. there was no "you cant tell me what to do attitude, only a simple misunderstanding of the rules"

Here is where he is getting it from:

Please take notice of the CAPITALIZED LETTERS. Now, did you hear that? I just yelled at you!!! ARE YOU HEARING THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY KEYBOARD?????

Looks to me like the OP is demonstrating that the batter yelled at the umpire. He most definitely wasn't just "unfamiliar with the rule."

Hey, did you know that you are the only one here who doesn't understand this? Maybe it's not us after all.

Every time I read this, I just have to laugh a little.
