Yeah but that was just mean... :D

I guess that is what happens when you have humans umpire, we all have different thresholds for things.

I'm likely to nip some things in the bud during an adult AA game before a JO youth game because the adults will start going after each other. I've seen it happy and it wasn't pretty.

The only time I ejected a catcher for USC while being chatty was a male catcher who said "That's a good pitch, swing that rack baby!" when a female batter was up to bat in a coed game. She let it go, wisely, because it would have been a ball, and as soon as it hit the ground and I called, "Ball...catcher, gimme the ball." He looked at me and asked why. I told him he was gone for USC and he dropped the ball in amazement and the batter said "now how does my rack look?" :D

Well... how did it look???

The guy never made a comment. He sulked off, ranting off a profanity-filled litany as he headed to his car. I threw the ball back to the pitcher and asked if they had a sub. Before the sub got to the catcher's spot, I turned to the batter and said, "honey, they're perfect...just play ball." :D
