Coach: Warning or ejection?

[7in60]

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm up late doing some work for tomorrow and was hoping for a reply before I turn in.

If the game starts late because of me, of course we play 1:45. One team had 6 players at 8:55, and the last few came together right around 9.

Do you call a strike on any bunt attempt where there is bat motion, unless the motion is to pull it back? I clearly saw her move the bat upwards, even though it was above the ball.

I like your idea of firing back at the coach. I need to do something so I don't feel like I'm getting railroaded by this guy. He is a strong personality who I should probably take with a grain of salt.

Point taken re: last inning. Last Monday I told two slow pitch teams "it could be the last inning" in a similar situation (5 run limit, unlimited runs in the last inning). One player was adamant that I declare last inning, or not, right there. I explained that if the offensive team got to 5 runs, I would decide whether it would be unlimited or not (it would have been, due to time). He couldn't comprehend that, even with a teammate trying to explain. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
