I really think they are so "mechanical" because they don't spend enough time watching upper level umpires work. The setting at second with the play at first is trying to look like (s)he's/ in control of the sitch.
I'm like you in that
any game I watch is spent watching the umpires. I see something that I think looks good and I'd like to try it out, I work on it in private until it's seen on the field.
Another one of their problems is being a tad bit nervous.
