Please tell me if i was wrong
I was an assistant coach for a freshman team this year and we had a runner on first with a batter up. Our batter hits the ball and somehow drops his bat and hits the other teams catcher on the arm. I am coaching first base and the umpires calls time and comes over to my runner at first and tells him that since he injured the catcher(the catcher was fine!) that if there was a play at the plate with my runner on first he was automatically out. Thats when i lost it and got in his face and almost got ejected before the guy i coach with stopped me. Is this even an exceptable ruling from an umpire and if he would have followed through with it what could i have possibly done?
FYI the first thing this ump said to me when he walked up was"i hope this game gets over with quick so i can take my mom out to dinner" and he would yell at my batters when they would step out in the middle of an at bat.
