Home Run or Ground Rule Double????? Crap!!

When you pay for 2 umpires, you get what 2 umpires can see. Sometimes they can't see everything. Coaches will simply have to deal with occasional situations like this without exhibiting rude, crude or socially unacceptable behavior.

One situation where having NO fences is a plus. Worked most of my games back in CNY that way.

I'll say it again then...

Unless your partner was some 14-year old on his first game, you should not be getting between your partner and the coach. Period. How would you feel if your partner didn't feel you were capable of handling this coach? It's an insult to your partner that you handled things for him AND it means you weren't doing YOUR job at this time.

That said ... despite the fact that you guys might have effed up the procedure and the call, the coach doesn't have the right to go ape-shit. I admit I'd give him a tad more rope than usual in a case like this, but if he goes off the rails you have to send him packing.
