Tells me I should be running down the 1B line to call a play at 1B (one-man game). Whines about a girl who didn't slide, though she slowed considerably and barely bumped his catcher, who was standing square on the plate after the throw got past to the backstop. He also tried to claim that batters hit by pitches were not awarded 1B in that league—until the other coach brought out the league rules.

Don't try to accommodate these types in any way. They're not looking for fair play, they're looking to control you and the game.

Sorry about your game last night and that is more nonsense than I was talking about. However, you didn't say anything about direct insults or obscenities so I guess that's why he stayed for the entire game.
