Video title speaks for itself, you make the call. Ejected?

Is this a trick question?

Oh yeah, she would have been gone

The first one I would bet the plate ump didn't see he was moving toward 3rd, but he was looming right at the 2nd one and did nothing.

This is why I have a problem with umpires who do not believe it is necessary to watch runners touch a base when there is no play.

I could not agree with you more.

What the old white guy said....

Great job of the base runner keeping her cool. That would have been a classic case of seeing the retaliation only.

I did see the earlier video of the blue uniform catcher getting her legs intentionaly taking out on the force play at the plate with no call.
The elbows that later came at the plate was certainatly retaliation for her getting legs taken out earlier in the game.
Some athletes take contact a little more personal and not just ignored as part of the game. Call it and at least talk and warn.
Haven't seen all the video, but on the first elbow, I'll assume U1 was counter rotated and U3 chased.
C has responsibility for touch at the plate and all other plays at 3rd and home.
Weve all had one or two weve missed, but those are the type of infraction that could of resulted in some serious injury and liability.

They aren't retaliation. The same team committed all three acts. The blue team was on offense when the catcher's legs were taken out on the force. The blue team was on defense when the catcher gave the elbows.

Whoops, I missed that! Thx.
I did read report on a news website site, that a witness to the game indicated it was retaliation from a prior play, obvisouly it wasn't one of those three play.

I watched a replay of the entire game yesterday and there was nothing done out of the ordinary by the black team to retaliate for. There were a couple of steal attempts at 2nd where F6 got slid into, but nothing malicious about the slide and F6 was putting her foot in front of the base before she had the ball. Borderline obstruction with the ball getting there just a fraction before the runner.

But, being as it was a replay it was edited and nothing of the 2 knockdowns was ever shown other than just the general play. I have read the umpire did talk to the blue team coach after the black teams coach pitched a fit but none of that was on the replay.

Careful about umpire assignments. This is a four-umpire crew. See the clip at about 0:22.

Wow talked to the coach. The conversation should have been "You need to get a new catcher suited up"
