What was being kept "even"?

Tim knew what was going on. He handled it fine.

I am not criticizing Tim in the least. However, that is not how I would have handled the situation.

How would you have handled it differently?

"Tschida probably (as I would have) "allowed" one check of an opposing player to pacify Maddon and to prevent a continued parade to the mound."

I would not have done this. Eject, move on.

You may have done this at whatever level you work. You would not
have if you were a MLB umpire. You would have done exactly what Tschida did, the prescribed manner in which this is handled.

Ejection is not the correct way to handle this pi$$ing contest. You check the other team's glove once and that's it. If the coach wants every relief pitcher's glove checked, then, it ain't happening!

"p.s. what brand of mask was the PU wearing? (that'll make more than half of you guys watch that video again)"

Dont even have to look at the video - I know Tschida wears a NIKE mask

Yeah... I know - get a life lol

+1

As I said before....

Solid game management. He stopped the shenanigans and let both managers make fools of themselves off the field.

If Tim dumps Maddon the game goes on, but the garbage continues to sour.

Huh? You would have ejected him for asking to check the opposing player? Really?

You would not have done WHAT, exactly. Allowed him to check? Or told him "we're checking one, I don't want a parade of checks from you though ... this is all." You would have allowed NO checks? or INFINITE checks?

I would have allowed any and all checks that were requested. I would not tell anyone that they get 'one' because the other guy got 'one'.

Understood.

No offense, but good luck with all that.
