Ok heres thie situation:
Im playing center with a runner on 2nd and ball was hit to me. I throw home with a strong throw to keep the runner at third. Next batter gets a double so the run scores. Next batter hits one to me, and i over run it, but because of the strong throw two batters ago (not bragging,but i made a pretty decent throw) the runner that was on second went to third and stopped. So i jog in a little bit, because i didn't want to throw the ball away because i was upset for over running it, and the pitcher YELLS at me to throw it in. Something along the line of "Jesus Christ! Throw the ball in". I know i waited a little bit but where were the runners gonna go? If either of them went they were done. Then in the dugout he sais something a long the lines of "Why'd don't you play in so you don't let tose bloopers drop, no ones hit me hard all night" (Gives up a home run next inning). In my opinion i should not be told by the pitcher how to play my position and a player should NEVER criticize another player out loud on the field. Is this correct? I was going to say something to him but i didn't want to start a controversy among the team.
Am i correct that it is wrong for a pitcher to do? Myself as a pitche know i would NEVER do something like that but maybe thats just me.
Thanks in Advance
