Practice Dust-up

An incident happened in practice that I wish had not occurred.

I felt obligated to send one player off the practice field for throwing a bat and helmet after striking out in scrimmage. We have that rule for practice, this is the first time I've had to enforce it.

In the immediate aftermath things were said and it was an uncomfortable few minutes for all involved.

As per league rules I've reported the incident to the player agent, an officer of the league.

The league by-laws say:

"Managers will be allowed to discipline players for (1) one game for the following:

1. Missing practice consistantly without excuse.
2. Disrespect of teammates, managers or coaches.

It is not my intention to suspend the player for what happened yesterday. As far as I'm concerned the incident is over with.
