Horrible umpires

my enjoyment is neither enhanced nor diminished based on how a player reacts to a given play. that said, they ain't kids.

What about in a playoff or similar feel kind of game. When Joey Bats did his thing, that wouldn't pump you up even a little as a fan?

no, why would i? the act of a successful play is the enjoyable part, not the self rah rah'ing.

edit: to add, re: the college clip above....even with context, i see no reason why an official should be touching a player like that

That's where my mind went...what's with the creepy handsy Herbert the Pervert ump?

Fellas, fellas... the answer is simple: The ump was merely trying to keep the game moving.

Pace of play is the priority nowadays. Hel-lo?

Guys, guys, Lt. Frank Drebin is just trying to protect the queen. Every player is getting a pat-down search.

Ed Hickox can't be serious? I missed this, didn't get home until after this happened, watching on the Dodgers network. Unbelievable.

Talking about horrible umpiring, did Angel Hernandez retire or go on a long vacation? Haven't heard anything about him screwing up calls for a few weeks now.
