I almost addressed the coach v. manager aspect but I DID assume that a minor league manager would be the one to make such a decision so you got me there.

I am not defending anybody's "error", I am sharing how you were perceived by a disinterested third party (and I'm not the only one it seems). Context is important. I don't really care who is "right".

Might I offer a piece of friendly advice and advise you just relax a little and get to know the place and participants? It may provide a more pleasant experience. But you are free to do as you wish.
