Local rule...
We have new ejection rules this year in Rec softball and baseball. If any coach is ejected for arguing judgment calls, or acting in an unsportman like manner, his or her case will be evaluated to determine if he or she must miss more than one game. If a coach is ejected twice any time during the year he can NEVER again coach for any Rec team. Last year there were several first time umpires (high school kids) that some coaches aggressively tried to intimidate on every close call. No coaches were ejected and many, many complaints came to the board about the way some adult coaches were jumping all over the young umps. This year those young umpires are gone and new teenage umpires have taken their places. So my question to the park board would be this... If some new umpires are too timid to eject an intimidating adult coach what good will stronger ejection rules be? ... Nothin' like fun at the ole' ball park! ..Al

Now, the rules are there. It is now up to the UIC to make sure his umpires do what they need to do. I think its a great rule. I think ASA should adopt a similar rule for championship play. A few years back I had a coach who's mouth was so bad, he deserved an *** kicking, let alone the ejection he got from me... and he was happily harassing the other umpires the very next game. They let him slide.. for reasons I cannot even fathom. If ASA would give us some teeth with our ejections, they might chill out a little.

Another night, one of our umpires is having a conversation with someone at a low volume about an incident that happened on another night. The umpire said, "awwwe, gee... I'd've thrown his a$$ out." You had to be within 10 feet to hear it, and only a couple people heard him. The guy in the first paragraph was told to serve a 1-game suspension (the minimum in the league for an ejection). However, the guy in charge wanted the umpire in the second paragraph to serve a two-week suspension. Yes, umpires are held to a higher standard than players, but it's crap like this that makes me not want to call in this municipality. When you have a guy at the helm who doesn't back you, you don't want to call there. I've got about 20 other cases of this moron at the helm not backing us, but I'll spare everyone.

I would eject anyone who is deserving and not worry about what happens next. If the same offender commits the same offense in my next game i would pitch him again. Ad infinitum. A'int my job to set league policy and I could never lose sleep over sending *******s to the parking lot. As for the umpire who made a judgement on a situation he was not involved in, well, then, don't discuss it. Totally unprofessional. |

However, the fact remains that this guy does not back us umpires, even in matters of our judgment. Isn't that what he hired us for in the first place?
