How do you handle a catcher's histrionics?

I didn't think so.

Where does it say in the rules the pitcher or batter cannot tell you to go f*** yourself everytime s/he disagrees with your call?

Where does it say the catcher cannot throw their mask in your direction every time s/he moves into position for a play?

Where does it say the coach cannot grab your *** in the pre-game meeting?

???? Yeah, right.

As our resident expert in idiocy has already noted. These can be considered acts of unsportsmanlike conduct and, as a matter of rule, the plate umpire can rule as s/he sees fit on anything not specifically addressed in the rules.

Any questions? One step closer to tickling the ivories.
