Aside from our needing to ignore all after the game, the comment "coach is loudly telling his players, "You didn't lose this game, the plate ump did."" is a symptom of what is wrong with a lot of society, blaming someone else for your mistakes and failures and not taking responsibility for what you do, whether it's not knowing rules, muffing a catch, failing a math test, screwing up a task at work or DUI.
