Another example of softball douch baggery!

[moorerm04]

Monday night league, fun ass league no HR limit, 280' fences, ASA. Obviously some balls get hit out. Teammate hit a ball that goes out in dead center by 20' at least. Clearly a HR, but the RC fielder throws his hands up like it is caught under fence or something. The umpire is oblivious, not paying attention and rules it a ground rule double. Obviously this starts an argument between umpire, teammate, and opposing RC. Fast forward 3 innings, I hit a solid line drive that just carries out in RC (like 1 foot) and again the RC throws his hands up trying to play another one off. Umpire was watching close, and rules it a HR. RC throws a fit arguing, cursing etc. Gets Ejected, refuse's to leave park, cops get called all kinds of butthurt end of story. I know Cool Story Bro, STFU, GTFO, EAD, Honey Boo Boo Child Im Out!

[jf2k4]

Yessir.... This is LEAGUE we are speaking of.

 

[pnpxtreme]

Well.. you do live in Ohio.

 

[moorerm04]

Well.. you do live in Ohio.

Yes the heartland of America!

 

[huzzdog]

fly over states

 

[moorerm04]

You got that right Huzz

 

[old]

If the umpire isn't paying attention then he doesn't know what's going on

 

[Chrisklol]

I think maybe the RC is a newb and he thought he was supposed to throw his hands up? I don't know.....

 

[tom15]

sounds like he needs a ****punch!

 

[huzzdog]

this happens in dome ball a lot. very hard to tell if a ball is an hr or an out based on where it hits. have seen a few people lose their cool.. um hey dude it's january there is a foot of snow on the ground and we are playing ball.. with a bar attached. calm down

 

[g8orguy]

I admit I'd kinda like to see that. Convincing an ump a hr is a ground rule double.... I'ma have to try that sometime...

We have a guy in our league do this all the time. the fences in the OF are bent up just enough that if you hit a ball in the right spot it will roll under the fence or get wedged under the chain link. the second the ball is even near the fence he waves his arms like a crazy person yelling that it's out of play

 

[synergy40]

This is not softball douchebaggery this is straight up douche bag. Softball douchebaggery would be players trying to use banned bats or players complaining every bat is shaved cuz they lost.

 

[BigWhiffa]

adding this to my OF repertoire. thx

That's too funny. As long as it's not happening to you that is...

 

[softballin101]

Why do people think of stuff like this? Just play the game straight up and let the best team win

 

[Spackler]

wow cops show up cause he wasn't happy at going 1 for 2 at shenanigans....

 

[brad_g]

Yes the heartland of America!

Ohio used to be "The Heart of it All"

 

[71bama17]

douchebags in every crowd, Had a guy calling out illegal bats in a league with no bat rules once

 

[SevenBizzos]

The ump needs to pay better attention. I'm sure that play works a couple of times a year.

We have a catcher that likes to add outs to the other team once in awhile. It actually works sometimes. [Likely flagrant D-baggery, but it's pretty funny]

 

[moorerm04]

No his wife was flipping out and being all trashy when the ump tossed him, and it continued to escalate from there until thread were made buy this clown, and he stuck around even after bein told to leave.

Ohio used to be "The Heart of it All"

It might still be?

As an ump, that is when I tell that teams captain/manager if the ejected player doesn't leave, the game is over and will be a forfeit on your team.

when they dont its gappers all day long

 

[B-dubb]

I was expecting a thread about arm-sleeves and eye-black. Shucks..

 

[FatBoy28]

Doing it isn't D-baggery, throwing a temper tantrum when you caught is.

 

[Dirt27]

adding this to my OF repertoire. thx

^^^^yep, great idea!

 

[huzzdog]

if that was the case everybody in the conference would hit 900
