Again: where would he have gotten such a mechanic? Because, no umpire in the history MLB, PBUC or NCAA (in otherwords, guys you might want to imitate) has ever used such a mechanic...as far as I'm aware of.
Did anyone else see it? Or was I more asleep than I realized, when I "thought" I saw this mechanic?

I saw it too, you weren't dreaming! I have seen it before, though. I have seen a couple of Smitties do it. It looks dreadful. What you end up with is the left fist extended above your head, and it looks just like you called him out with your left arm. I was going to mention this, but I thought, nah, I've bagged on these poor guys enough for one week!
