I got that speech nearly verbatim two years ago at a 16U summer state tournament with addition of

"I don't want to hear a da#n thing about my strike zone and your pitcher gets a warning on the first eyeroll, I'm tossing her on the second."

Wow, does your pitchers practice rolling one eye at a time? Otherwise, she's history as soon as she looks skyward

Obviously, this "umpire" isn't what I would call good, professional or, well, hell, an umpire.
