Trash Talking From Dugout

[UMP 64]

I had a similar sit, I walked over to the dugout, pointed out the best player on the team, told him quietly he was gone for the TT comment, and he quickly gave up the original offender, who was EJed. Worked for me?

I had an uncle who was inducted into ASA's Indicator faternity back in late 80's or early 90's, who told me that he would tell the coach to put whoever he wanted ejected on the end of the bench because that was who he was going to toss if he heard more. But, I kind of like your solution better.

You know, this might actually lead the coach/manager to putting the trash talker there, so your job would be easier. Remember, it's COED ball, and usually the trash talker on those teams get looked down on with that sneer you see high society folks give to the average joe sometimes.
