Should of i thrown someone out or no?

Question

Ay Caramba! - lol no i just walk away from him lol.

Answer 1

you should of given the couch a warning because they are not allowed to talk to umps like that and that was a good call from wat you said nothing was on the bag

Answer 2

The coach had no right coming out and questioning your call. He CANNOT argue a judgement call only rule interpertation.

Answer 3

you did fine, but a couple things

1. Don't say I'm a patch umpire, he can see the patch, just say, "I am aware of the rules."

2. Be advised that as an umpire, on a close call, only half the people there will be happy with your call.

3. Sometimes coaches argue/disagree in the hopes of "buying a close call later

4. most important, umpiring is a tough job, it's the only job you have to be perfect on your first day, & then improve

5. make your call, & live with it

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!  

Answer 4

There is really no need for a warning and much less an ejection in this situation.  The coach is just asking you a question, they have a right to do that.  If he is yelling, making a scene, and trying to show you up then that is different.  

As a side note, that is some of the toughest baseball you will umpire.  The kids don't know how to play, coaches don't know the rules, then you have parents meeting you at the gate as you're trying to leave the field to yell at you for calling little Johnny out.  Routine plays become bang bang plays, and you will have to enforce rules that you probably skim over in the rule book because you don't think the situation will ever happen.  Just do your best, call what you see, and don't get too involved in the game.  You are not there to provoke anyone.  One thing that all levels of baseball have in common is that the players and coaches are playing with passion.  In the heat of competition you have to understand that this passion will get out of control sometimes.  You do not necessarily have to have your finger ready to run somebody as soon as they question your judgement.  In Cal Ripken, people might not recognize this, but trust me players and coaches at higher levels of play respect umpires who allow the game to be played.

Answer 5

You did fine, giving a warning would have been stupid based on that conversation. If he was yelling at you and raising his voice and saying you call "sucked" or anything like that THEN maybe a warning.

Also. He said "the fielder has to tag the runner with the ball, not the "bag"? What does he mean by bag? If he means the base then I don't understand.

Answer 6

You should have warned him first.

Just tell him,"Ok, this is a warning, go sit back in the dugout and let me officiate the game, ok?"

And if he doesnt comply, then toss him out.

Coaches need to respect umpires.

Answer 7

I don't think you should have thrown anyone out. You probably shouldn't have said walk away. Maybe a warning would be good.  

Answer 8

What the heck does "should of" mean? It's "should have."

What's an "official patch" umpire?

You shouldn't have said "walk away" to the coach. A simple "Let's go, guys" gets the point across better and is less confrontational.

Based on your description of what happened, an ejection would not be warranted.
