Blindguy,

I'm not the pitchers dad...I am not related to anyone who was on the field of play. I think you owe the pitchers dad an apology for calling him out as the original poster. I did not use the pitchers name but I did use the umpires name for a reason. The umpire is paid to make those decisions and should be able to stand up to them. It was an overreaction, a poor decision in the split of the moment, and that is why an umpire friend of mine said they received word the next day to stop and think before ejecting coaches and players. Ejections are serious business and have serious ramifications on the game and on a coaches and players career. They should not be issued flippantly.
