This is what I talk about being a "rulebook official." This umpire read something out of the rulebook and applied the rule regardless of the intent of the rule or does not use any common sense as to how the rule should be applied.

The term has nothing to do with umpires/officials knowing the rules. This guy is a classic "rulebook official."

Peace
