E. employed tactics noticeably desgined to delay or hasten the game
F. after warning by the umpire, willfully violated rules of the game

Those of you that say I pulled the trigger too quick, how long would you have waited? There was no signs of him putting the batter back, he was obviously grandstanding and trying to show me up, and just being a jacka..

I didn't say that you pulled the trigger too quick, just that I may not have done so as quickly. We all have different ways of handling this type of joker.

I may have tossed him, told the assistant to put the batter out there and moved on from there. Or I may have asked him straight on if he was refusing to continue play or follow the umpire's direction. That makes life real easy. I wouldn't have been hung up so much on the two-minute thing, but that you did is fine and well within the rules as set forth.

As previously noted, I have no problem with what you did and you have noted the same rules as I did earlier. I think you did your job just fine.
