It was the crazed emotion that went along with the warnings that was flat out bizarre. Jeez, you'd think they were aiming for his head, and not the batters. No reason to get pissed off and make a show about it. Step forward, and make your point.

And then to have some sort of foam-at-the-mouth argument in the middle of the field is uncalled for. They looked like nine year olds on the playground. Look, if you, as an umpire, get red in the face from shouting at anyone, you've lost control. And I realize that it's show business, and it's for the entertainment of the masses. But that just looked like pro wrestling, as opposed to the civilized game of baseball. There's no need for that. None.
