Two, umpires will tolerate more from coaches than from anyone else. Never under any circumstance is a player or a coach allowed to touch an umpire. Even an accidental bump could result in an ejection. Very rarely will a player or coach come within three feet of an umpire. In an intense game where every call an umpire makes is questioned and argued this three-foot cushion is to an umpire what an open meadow is to a person who is claustrophobic.
Umpires have three goals for every game.
There are times when an umpire, totally unbiased at the start of a game, will begin to favor one team, and give them all the close calls. Generally the reason for this is because the umpires image was compromised. If an umpire calls a strike, and the batter thinks it was a ball he better not turn around and look at the umpire to argue. If the batter does turn around, anything he says to the umpire will most likely result in an ejection. The batter just publicly questioned the umpire s authority.
