Wow...a bit touchy are we? Holy smokes.

LOL a slight exaggeration, getting ready for the season to start this weekend, little bit rusty this time of year!

But yea that ump was a jackass, I immediately assumed the kid said something that started with an F, his physical actions certainly didn't warrant being thrown out. I know he dragged his bat but nowhere near the line of the pitch if anything it was at a right angle. The kid was disgusted (as he should have been) and the ump way over reacted probably because he knew that he blew the call and/or because he has umpire god complex. Either way he was wrong.
