I umpire mostly college level baseball. If someone gets plunked, I always consider the situation. If team A hits consective bombs and the next batter gets "dusted", I will ALWAYS at least issue a warning. Even if the pitcher wasn't throwing at the batter, the perception is that he WAS. If that thought flashes through my mind, it will flash through a lot of other minds as well. So if I err in issuing that warning, I've erred on the side of safety. Smart baseball minds know that and accept it - and it does show that I'm aware of what's going on around me.
