What you don't know or what was not publicized in the paper is that umpire was acting within the league rules for P.A. announcer actions.thavoice;1238956 wrote:guess I coulda read the post. He was playing 3 blind mice as well.
Depending on the level....could only be two umpires at this game!

Unless the rules REQUIRE the ump to run him, he's a d-bag.Bigdogg;1238978 wrote:What you don't know or what was not publicized in the paper is that umpire was acting within the league rules for P.A. announcer actions.
I worked for the Copperheads in this league last summer. Which team was he on?thavoice;1239106 wrote:I will never forget a buddy of mine who used to coach in the Great Lakes Collegiate wooden bat league in ohio. He said ya got a couple of freebie ejections before you got suspended so he made sure he used them to show the players he had their back, to fire them up, and when he just got fed up with the team!.
There was an umpire who did alot of these games, and independant games, who had one eye. Seriously. There is a book out about him too.
I went to a number of them and a few of his ejections were epic. One was he argued for a bit and when he was walking back to the dugout the ump told him "If I hear another word outta ya, you're gone". SO he turned around and said "word"
He got tossed.
Another time they were arguing at third base area. Coach told him..."just throw me out, its 100 fn degrees out here, we are getting killed, just run me".
Ump said. "no, last time I did you drank all our beer"
Coach."No, I wont"
Ump. Yeah, I know you. U will go to the truck and drink all our beer like you did last year.
Then they went back and forth and he jus wouldnt run him.
If a PA announce, played "Help!" by The Beatles during a mound visit. Would they be ejected?Sonofanump;1239859 wrote:Good for him. No need for that.
This. The reason it's in the league rules is because some ump was butt-hurt and cried to his union.Rotinaj;1238989 wrote:He's still a douche.
No, that has nothing to do with the integrity of the game. That would be a statement at the visiting team, not a statement against the person put in charge of conducting impartial fair play for a contest.hasbeen;1239889 wrote:If a PA announce, played "Help!" by The Beatles during a mound visit.
