Stop me anytime with where you would pull the trigger on this guy. I'd do it somewhere between #2 and #4, depending on the attitude of the coach at the beginning. If he came out hot and yelling (unsaid in the article, but a reasonable assumption), he'd be gone after #2, no warning.

When I originally read the article, #2 was my first thought as to where I would have dumped the guy.

I expect some griping on any close call, and may let a coach come out and discuss the call with me, but once the discussion is over and I ask him to return to the dugout, we're done.
