This same sort of thing happened to a 2nd year umpire in my association earlier this season. The guy behind the backstop was the district UIC. He was riding the game umpire pretty hard and afterwards he (the district guy) approached this new ump in the parking lot to tell him how much he screwed things up, rules he blew, calls he missed, ect.
The new guy asked me what he should've said in response, and the first thing I thought of was telling him, "No wonder there is a shortage of umpires around here."
This type of behavior stinks of a power-trip.
