I'll guarantee that the umpire Tim was talking about was "hiding" behind the catcher for protection. I have seen a lot of wannabes that do this. They chastise others about wearing the equipment, feigning this false machismo, then they get out there and hide behind the catcher and basically guess balls and strikes.
It is totally ridiculous to get out there on the field without all of your equipment at anytime. Just my NSHO.
