▲ 3 r/Umpire

Would like suggestions. Little league majors division. Batter throw his bat after hit. I warn him and his manager as a teaching moment.

He throws his bat again on his next at bat. I warn again but other manager mentions to me that he should be ejected.

I've read some rules that state he should be ejected. Welcome how you guys recommend for future

Wife is an alcoholic. She says she isn't, of course. I am at my wits end. She won't get help. Any suggestions?

She stops and starts drinking often. About once every two weeks, she'll get absolutely drunk and pass out. Then says she's sorry saying she'll stop. That lasts one day and she starts again.. This cycle has gone on for close to 2 years.

Two days ago, she got very drunk. Yesterday she said she will stop, but last night, she said she needs 2-3 shots of alcohol before bedtime to sleep. She mixes alcohol and Ambien daily

I don't want divorce, but I can't live with the drinking. Every ultimatum i give her gets broken, yes i am weak and enabling her bad habits but I don't know what to do. Her 90 year old parents live with us so kicking her out isn't that easy. I don't want to add significant stress to their life.

Should i have overruled base ump? Little league 10U

Runner on 1st and 2nd, 2 person crew. Ball hit to short, bobbles and throws to 1st. Field ump was close to 2nd base, i was moving out from behind the plate. From my view, the batted runner was out at first but field ump called safe. I didn't overrule him. The coach of defensive team asked me if i saw it differently. I explained my place would have been to overrule if 1st baseman's foot came off the bag, but not if ball beat the runner.

​

Did i handle correctly?
