13.2.3 The umpires have the authority to issue a pregame or postgame ejection for unsporting behavior that occurs from the time the umpires arrive at the competition site until the umpires leave the competition site, if the conduct would have resulted in an ejection had it occurred during the game.

EFFECT—The umpire shall notify the appropriate head coach of the ejection, and if the affected team has a subsequent game that day, the on-site administrator also will be notified. The violator shall serve the ejection in their team’s next regularly scheduled and played contest. All conditions for the effect of an in-game behavioral ejection apply. See Rule 13.2.1 EFFECT.

13.3 Misconduct Whether from the bench, the coach’s box, the playing field or elsewhere, umpires have the authority to eject a player, coach or team representative for misconduct (verbal or nonverbal) or unsportsmanlike conduct including but not limited to the following:

13.3.1 Use profanity or vulgarity toward, bait or otherwise taunt an opponent or umpire.

13.3.2 Make insulting or disparaging remarks to or about opposing players or game officials or question the integrity of an umpire (for example, suggesting bias or cheating).

13.3.3 Make disparaging public comments on officiating to the media.

EFFECT—(13.3.1 to 13.3.3)—If the violation occurs during pregame activities while the umpires are at the competition site or during the game, the offender shall be ejected with or without a warning. (See Rule 13.2.1.) If the violation occurs after the game but while the umpires are still present at the competition site, the offender shall serve a postgame 138 RULE 13 / MISCONDUCT ejection. (Behavioral ejection; see Rule 13.2.3.) If the violation occurs at any other time, the institution’s director of athletics and conference office shall be notified as well as the NCAA Championship Committee in the event of a violation during the postseason. For violations by ejected personnel, see Rule 13.13

Do I need to make any comment to go with that?

Maybe I misread the OP, but the way I read it the player was on the field talking through the fence/net to her parents who were off the field. Not knowing any other context, I will reserve judgement. Just like the Reggie Drummer case, people were real quick to judge without knowing what had gone on.

Unfortunately, almost yes.

Ever since my daughter was in little leave we have had her go straight to the umps after the game and thank them and say thank you for calling a great game.... yes even if it was ray charles behind the plate. She will complain in private about the terrible calls but the biggest thing she complains about is inconsistency behind the plate- the zone keeps moving around!

I think it's better they toss them rather than bringing bias toward a player into the game and possibly impacting the outcome.

Am I the only one that would have my dd apologize after the game?
Depends if they really sucked or not. But I would also tell her, it is what it is and blaming the ump is an excuse and I don't want to hear. Generally when ump suck they suck equally. So if the ump is calling strikes 3 balls off the plate, deal with it. Your bat is 33 inches long. Quit making excuses, and hit the damn ball.

In my opinion it does not matter how bad the ump is. They have been hired to do a job. As long as they are doing the job to the best of their ability they deserve respect.
Would it matter if the ump told a player they sucked after striking out, even if the player was bad?
In 12U league DD was batting 3-2 count and gets called out on a pitch that crossed the plate at the shoulders. Next inning DD was pitching and a pitch she threw bellybutton high was called a ball. She gave the ump a pre-teen look. I am not for sure if anyone else noticed it but I did.
After the game I told her she was apologizing. Unfortunately the coach talked to them for a while and when we went so she could apologize the ump was gone. Hoping the act of trying gets the point across.
To be honest the ump was pretty bad but the position warrants respect.
