I hate the FED rule about warnings for throwing at batters. In this situation, if you warn the V F1, aren't you effectively giving the H F1 a free shot at one of the V batters since you haven't warned him yet? I guess you could go ahead and eject the H F1 if you know it was intentional, but the H coach is going to go nuts since you warned the other team. This is why in the OP, an ejection seems fitting IMO.

This works for me - purpose pitch above the waist, EJ; below the waist, probably a warning.

I wonder if that pitcher thought it was worth it, after the fact. Good job by the umpire.

Warning. If V pitcher is throwing darts all day and throws one behind head of batter he did it intentional, if wanted to hit the batter he would have. Had a dart thrower hit batter in head, eject, behind the head, warn, especially under circumstances (no warn to other team).

What I don't understand is how H pitcher is all over the place, hit 4 batters and team only trails 1-0. And how did dart throwing shutout pitcher end up with bases loaded?

I probably 3000 miles away, but opinion woud not change if closer.

No no no. The head is a small target that is easy to miss. And when you throw it behind him, it's just as dangerous as if it was directly at the helmet. Batter natural movement is to lean back, right into the path of the ball. No way is he getting away with this.

And its for his own good, cause guess what is happening if he gets up to the plate himself again. Try filling out that paperwork...
