BTW, R2 did nothing to interfere; F6 had a clear toss to 2B.

OC comes after me, not in nasty fashion, and says, "Ace! That's interjection--obfuscation--confusement!" He then lets fly a few more non-words. I am trying not to laugh. I calmed him, trying to explain that no rule was broken.

He harrumphed and grunted and finally made his way back to dugout, with one parting shot: "But that's gotta be somethin'!"

Probably my most favorite comment by a coach..........they don't know what.....

BTW Ace......we miss you.......you need to post more. I don't come to the BB board often, but when I saw your name.......it drew me here.

While I am far younger than the song itself, I have quoted it in the face of a coach making the same claim..."You can't get nothing from nothing."
