Ok,
Tim Timmons, The Master of the Ankle High Strike, "seems" to have reverted to what umpires "used" to be -- if he really did bark at Brady Clark for stepping out at the plate then he entered himself into another umpires domain. (Not unheard of since we saw Angel Hernendez toss Mariono Duncan long distance this year.)
Most of all it is just August (The Dog Days) when everyone is tired.
I only watched a few highlights -- I read the attched article -- and know that there will never be an annonced fine or suspension for the umpire so the issue is probably moot (or mute to some of our posters).
Regards,
