In all honesty, from my point of view coach was just asking about the strike zone because it changed a lot within an inning. Nothing hostile, no yelling, just a simple question and the ump just says no more and Coach says something along the lines of “we would like to know” and boom he got tossed. Very weak ejection and I’ve heard the appealed and won, so no suspension. 

In all honesty, he was chirping early and the ump did give him a warning. Was it a weak ejection, absolutely. I hate nothing more than an umpire/ref trying to big time the situation, which is what he did. Ump was definitely in the wrong and wasn’t consistent at all. 
On the other hand, why would the coach risk getting on the umps bad side in the biggest game of the year! Dude has to know the situation and control himself. He cost his kids the game, no doubt. Had his ace on the mound and the kid got rattled. Will be an interesting game tomorrow for sure!

You’re right, can’t put yourself in the situation. Some umpires are like that, if you know they can have a quick trigger then it’s best to let it be. I’m   just glad he got to coach the next game and the appeal was won. 
 

No doubt the ejection messed with the team’s psyche as it was an early one. After it happened, they settled down and played good baseball just was a tall task. 4 really good teams playing tomorrow.

All good points but left out is that "balls and strikes" is taboo to argue at almost every level. Managers get a lot more leeway to argue other points during a game than strike zones and pitch location...most have a quick trigger on the subject.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
