Game situation:Syracuse at Roy
Top of the seventh/score 3-1 for Roy / 1 out /syracuse runner on third. Up to this point in the game absolutely no issues from either coach or players.
Slow grounder to first - pitcher fields ball - pitcher was going slow and the syracuse runner was catching up.
A very close play at first - I called the batter/runner out. The first base coach comes running on the field saying I missed the call. He is yelling how could I miss it. I allow it for a few seconds (It was a close call so I was OK with him venting for a second).
We were starting to resume play - I was in "A" and he was in the coaches box- Score is now 3 - 2 for Roy. He continued to say what terrible call, I then said "That's enough" - At this point I heard him say "What a fucking bad call" I wasn't 100% sure if I heard it correctly so I turned and looked at him. He then repeated it was fucking terrible. I was in the process of calling time, trying to notify Phil, with the intention of warning / restricting the coach to the dugout when he said "What are you doing, you dumbfuck?" At this point I ejected him and he proceeded to call me a dumbfuck again.
On his way out he also had words for Phil, but he can describe.
For what it is worth, after the game Nate Weese (Syracuse Head Coach)approached me and I willingly told him I would talk to him. I started to describe the play when Nate said he wasn't worried about the call, just the actions of his assistant coach. I told Nate what happened and he was very professional and understanding. At no point before or after this incident did Nate ever say or do anything unsportsman like.
This sucked by the way. |
