Arguing balls and strikes?

Was this a day game or a night game?

Finally, a question to answer!

This coach has a reputation for "in your face" arguing with umpires, and has been ejected many times. In fact, as a fan, I feel that the coach hasn't finished his "job" with the umpire until he succeeds in getting himself ejected. The fans usually cheer him when he finally does get ejected.

On this one occasion, the umpire warned him, and the coach replied, "I didn't argue a SINGLE PITCH!"

It was either this occasion, or another time, when the coach asked the umpire, "How come you never call the third strike?"

I don't remember the outcome of this argument.

There was another occasion where the umpire sent him to the dugout after an argument and refused to talk to him. Later, he approached the umpire from the dugout. The umpire said, "STOP! Not one more step!" The coach said, "This is about something else!" He took one more step, and the umpire tossed him.

Comments, please?

Do you realize that you are posting on an UMPIRE form?
Do you realize that this coach is a jerk?
Do you realize that umpires do not have to give explanations to coaches?
DO you realize that you appear to no nothing of NCAA rules or rules of baseball in general?

bsaucer,

I find your posts on this forum remarkably uninteresting. (Impartial and firm.)

You're welcome. (Courteous.)

It seems to me the question is: Arguing balls and strikes?

Answer: yes, you can. However, you will get dumped.

Next question.
