bottom line why dont you let the catcher know that showing you up isnt going to happen. Hold your ground. Be confident(not arrogent) and just dont let crap like that let you get all hot and bothered. Chances are that you show that you are letting it get to you which lets that player and everyone else know they have your punk card... and the WILL play it

A sorry excuse for a sports official not willing to take the responsibility for which they are being paid. Their job is to manage and control the game. Allowing players and coaches to act like ucking fidiots ($.02 to John) is not part of the job. And it just isn't about it getting personal. Part of any sports official's job is to protect the integrity of the game AND the crew. Without that, the game is a joke. A sports official is no less a human being when they don the uniform. Until an official has given a reason for not receiving it, s/he is due every bit of respect earned by the position assigned them. Part of that is civil, non-abusive communication. Under no circumstance should a sports official accept a loud, abusive tirade or any attempt to bring their integrity into question. |

If a player or coach has ejected themselves, then they have ejected themselves. The thickness of someone's skin has nothing to do with that. I agree with many other posts. I will finish the game doing one-man mechanics. You throw my fat butt under the bus with something like that, you will have your butt ON the bus. MEANWHILE, in a recent game, had the catcher leave the glove up, ask the question, etc etc I politely told her loud enough for her to hear that she had just committed the fatal sin of showing me up and showing total disrespect. I asked if they had a good backup catcher. She said, very meekly, yes, but she hasn't caught all year, etc. etc. She was damn near in tears as she apologized. Often, players will take as much rope as they are given. Make sure you don't give them so much they end up hanging you out to dry.

A week ago I was the PU on a varsity softball game and F2 was setting up inside and I was calling balls. In the first inning she turned and asked what was going on. I stated "you are setting up inside and she is hitting ther glove."
In the second inning the same thing happened and she again asked. I told her the same thing. She asked for time and went out to talk to F1. Both of them looked at me and had a discussion. F2 came back and we started to play. I called another ball and she turned around and looked at me. in the Third inning we started the same way. She asked for time and went out to talk to F1. When she came back, I told her she had the choice of playing or watching and she needed to decide. I also told her that if she insisted, I would decide for her. Had no more looks or questions the rest of the game. |

As per the OP, if F2 is not addressing the PU, then why should the PU even dignify any of the F2's actions? Where does the rule book read that F2's can't hold their mitt up/frame a pitch, or shrug their shoulders?
