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.

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

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.

Sure we do. Lots of them.

Oh -- you said "spit".

Never mind.

When I was in high school, the picture of George Washington was covered with spitballs in the geometry teachers room

When I was in school, those were known as "spit wads".
