What does you call when a fielder pushes a runner off base and tags them? USC and eject ?

Judgement (on degree of contact) call:

# Sell and out
# Stare and warn,
# Unsporting and eject.

mick,

Philosophically, while I don't disagree with your answer, what rule(s) are you applying for for (1) Smile and safe or (3) Stare and warn.

I don't have an ASA rulebook, but from my understanding of the way the rules are written, they only provide for 2) Sell and out or 4) Unsporting and eject.

18597,
Dang it, I can't find my rule book.
It may not even be in there anyway.
If I had it, I'd be looking for sprit, intent, impeding a runner, unsporting behavior, travesties.
