Did we see the same play? IMO, Classic baiting by the umpire, yeah the batter said something in a "non show-n up way". Silence him or toss him, like some have said. But to step up remove the mask, get in the guys face and give an axx chewing, IMO is outta line..
The manager probably couldn't believe his eyes, and came out, not to argue balls and strikes, but to give a deserved Axx chewing himself, for baiting his player. I reacted the same way when I saw Rungee's antics, told my bride "uh oh, here we go, this guys outta line"...
"No, or incidental contact", your kidding right? That my friend was a classic chest bump that would get a player fined and suspended in a heart beat.
The player in return, admitted that he then lost it when the umpire bumped his skipper, said it was by the far the maddest he'd ever been on a ballfield
Unbelievable, if this umpire isn't reprimanded, fined, suspended, I'll poop and fall right over backwards in it...wow.
I think Rungee fell into the dark abyss every umpire fights and strives to keep out of. IMO an umpire must maintain a higher standard than what I saw.

Disagree with your conclusion.
Yeah thats it, anger management lessons will fix it.
So just how much is the rate for a chest bump or an unmasked glare?
Only poor people think everyone has to pay for every mistake they make.
Only rich people make mistakes all the time and get away with it too.
Only parent, administrators, judge and CEOs decide fair punishment.
But position in life or money does always equal moral ineptitude.
Sometimes the best discipline was knowing you made a mistake and should attempt to never do it again.
Can you accept an apology?
