Pitcher turning the shoulders

[MikeStrybel]

The OP has been addressed numerous times. Some feel that a coach has no right to raise his voice while on a field. Others KNOW he does. Officiate however you need.

The content and timing of the coaches voice does matter. That is something I wrote long ago and I'm glad to see it is finally understood.

Others can insist that yelling an opinion is inciting, it isn't. The higher up you go the more you will know that this happens and such intensity is often ignored by worthy umpires. A stare in the coach's direction (mask on) is often all it takes to get the response we need. LaRussa tried it the other day and Drake handled it EXACTLY that way. A few days earlier, a controversial balk call was met with hoots and hollers from the offender's dugout. The ENTIRE crew ignored the yelling. In yesterday's Texas/NY game, Ron Washington was SCREAMING about a missed touch at first base. He was allowed to vent without being dumped for 'inciting', yelling, screaming, etc. MLB Quickpitch is on every morning and highlights what the best umpires do. Still, if you want to eject because a coach yells something that you can't handle otherwise, umpire away.

The OP does not warrant an ejection of the coach for yelling as he did. It's time to move on.
