I stepped out from behind the plate. . .stood next to the coach 1/2 up the 3B line (he was behind the fence), and told the pitcher to pitch. . .The ball was fouled off. I looked at the away team coaches and said "Man that looked high, but was it inside or outside?" "You guys have a such great view from here, I figured the call would be easy" and proceeded to make my way back to the plate.!!!

That's not action had I been your partner I would have supported.

Per your threat, for the remainder of the game no questions could be asked by this coach. Must have been a shining moment for you.

Sometimes a short memory is a good thing.

I'm wondering if it was a nod or if your partenr was dropping his head in shame being on the same field with you.

If that's the only thing you were accused of after that game, you had a good day.
