I sincerely doubt there was much confusion as to whether she was ejected or not. The collision speaks for itself.

A collision does not speak for itself. An ejection mechanic is required whether you like it or not. That's like saying that if a runner is out by 10 feet, we don't signal out because the ball in the glove well before the runner arrived spoke for itself. Ejections are not as common and it was not that clear cut here.

I would totally disagree. Hell, I showed it to non softball peopele and they knew what the heck happened.

Where did I say he should have been "overly demonstrative?" That's contrary to what I said. Nice of you to misrepresent what I said though.

EsQUmp,

I figured I may be banned for this and it is unprofessional but you are unbearable and are a punk.
Go back under your rock.
If I ever find out who you are, you will never work for me.

Good Day

I apologize to you for recommending that the mechanic could have been more evident and citing my reasons. It's juvenile how many people who post on forums preach the rules and mechanics, not allowing for even moderate deviations for the smallest things, yet choose to argue against them based on personal opinion for a specific case.

I thought that the call was accurate. I thought the mechanics could have been better. The mechanics lacked a dead ball signal and moderately animated ejection signal. That's all I was saying.

Why don't you tell us what happened ? This is a perfect case of interpretation. It does not show anything but the runner crashing into the catcher. Have another drink and make something else up. SP "CLONE"

I'm not sure what your issue is, and why you think you have to demean others. If you dont like someones point of view, why not counter it in a professional manner without all the antics?

"and are little more than a troll with your follow-ups".

I will be professional just like you. (MOVE ON)

You came in blasting, calling people names...It's not the first time. It's also not the first time you have been asked to be respectful. Why not come in, disgree, discuss, and learn like most others?

I don't think I could umpire or even live without a better grasp on reality than a couple of our participants.
