Again, it is not just the safe/out/out call but the amateur hammer. Is that his normal hammer? Add that to the ridiculous bracelet and you have one unprofessional umpire.
Well, he got it wrong at first, but then got it right. And that isn't a hammer, that's a "midget punch" used to sell a call. I didn't think it looked weak, he even did it twice for emphasis. It was a normal punch out. What, did you want him to throw his arm out of the socket or what? It looks like he was sleeping on the play, but then again, so were the runner and the base coach.
