why not point straight up and watch the game? that's what we are paid to do not showboat. Like the bow string, thats showboating shwing the batter up. we get all out of whack when we get showed up then do it to a batter? just call that third strike,point up or fist up and keep your head in the game.

Point straight up? I've never seen that mechanic. Do you really point straight up or use the hammer motion?
No 3rd strike mechanic like the 'bow string' because it might show up the batter? Do you really think that you're showing up the batter and showboating? I haven't seen many (if any) umpires that don't have their own 'special' 3rd strike mechanic.

yes, arm goes up in a fist or in a point. I meant what I said all this big whoppdedo about making a huge deal out of a thrid strike, for what? we were told to stop saying "you're out" now we have this super showboat move for what reason?

Some of us never said "you're out."
