Each and every umpire has his/her own method of game management. What works for you may or may not work for me.
But I don't think an umpire needs to come out with guns blazing right off the bat. Screaming only shows a lack of self-control and doesn't inspire confidence or respect. It sets a bad tone for the rest of the game. There's no need for it, and it's unbecoming of an umpire.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
