He's also wrong. Restricting a coach to the dugout is NOT removing him from the game, since he can continue to perform most coaching functions from there.

Michael,

He posts more on another board, and I'm quite confident he is not a troll.

He may not be a "rules guru", but he strikes me as someone who is serious about improving his knowledge and his umpiring.

Thanks UmpJM,

You are correct in your assessment. I am not a rules guru. I have been doing this less than a year. But I am always on the boards trying to learn and I always have a rules book with me and I do read it. I have moved up in our organization rapidly.


The Restriction thing was an idea i threw out there. Not a good idea

I still say there is a difference between Removing and Ejecting but don't know how you would remove a coach without ejection so ejection it is!

You do understand that we are discussing a Major League situation, right?

Under the very rule we are discussing, I agree that the pitcher is REMOVED -- becasue of the second visit in an inning. He may stay on the bench.

For the mamager / coach, there's no such thing as "removal" that's different from "ejection" (except maybe in post-game administration / penalties administered by the league).

I was speaking to the ejection/removal of the manager.

Last night one AA umpire explained his opinion: "Removal is done only verbally, ejection is signalled physically along with the verbal. Nothing else is different."

I like this opinion.
