What is the order of "coaching" in Baseball when the coach gets ejected from the game?
I'll use the Yankees as an example, don't read into it. Say Torre gets ejected, the bench coach Mattingly usually takes over coaching for the rest of the game. Now, what happens if Mattingly gets himself ejected? Do they go to the First base coach or batting coach and how far down the line does it go? With Jeter being the team captain, is it feasible he could coach for the rest of the game if all the coaches were ejected? I doubt there's a rule or order, but someone with more baseball knowledge Im sure has some answers.|||Your bench coach steps up to be manager first. If he also gets ejected then your first base coach is now manager, third base coach is now first base coach, and batting coach in now third base coach. If in fact that the now "acting" first base coach also gets ejected - then the only thing I have to say is that someone should check with the empires - cuz they'er doing something majorly wrong!!! The only thing that I am sure of is that no player can "act" as a coach of any sort in any game unless he is NOT in that games' lineup. He cannot field or bat that game.|||It's whomever the Manager designates. Could be the pitching coach (LaRussa/Duncan). Could be the hitting coach. Could be the 1st/3rd Base Coach. There is no set rule as to who takes over, just as long as the umpires know who is handed the line-up card when the resigning manager exits.|||I think it depends on what team you are talking about. I am sure it differs from team to team. If Torre is ejected, mattingly will take over, if he gets the boot usually it is the ptiching coache's turn.|||I doubt it would ever seriously get as far as Jeter. I don't think Mattingly or any bench coach would argue a call when the head coach has been ejected. But in the case you were asking about, I would end the game as an umpire because it would be ridiculous. I used to be a referee for soccer and i had to boot off coaches before but we were instructed to end the game if the coaches or assistant coaches were exceedingly belligerent. I bet it would be the same in baseball
