Blue called runner out, then safe, Tony asks for clarification, then called time out and asked for help, LOL Then the blue from heck went off, Dont spit on my FACE!!
@chuckfan1 What you said is 100% correct. The only thing I would suggest is to not yell across the field, though the plate umpire should have never let him open his mouth about the play. This play was handled correctly as far as the ejection is concerned. As an umpire try not to make a scene where one is not needed (like walking across the field a yelling at a coach no matter how wrong he is).
as an umpire, once you raise your voice, you've lost control. A pitch had not been thrown, and IMV the coach had the right to call time to get clarification from the home base ump. It would of been diffrent if the pitcher threw a pitch and THEN the coach asked for time to reconsider the previous play. JMHO
As an Umpire Myself, I would have let Him ask for clarification, But I would not scream at him in his face it does not solve anything....Not walk toward the manager Your Just egging yourself on turn around and walk away..Dont even get involved with an argument with the coach.
What guys forget what the game is about? If you mean the umpires... he was right to eject him.... Once an umpire tells you what he had on a play.. that is the end of it... If you go to another umpire to ask for help, you put yourself at risk for immediate ejection. I do think the base umpire was a bit too aggressive...he should have ejected him, and walked away to the outfield... I dont think the spit that might have got on him was intentional... they were too close to each other..

Coach was dead wrong and deserved to be tossed. He needs to learn some self-control.

Um to the guy yelling put the game under protest, good luck with that one. An ejection of a coach is not something that's protestable
