I can see why people (including the batter, R3, R2, R1, and Bud Black) thought he was signaling fair because he wussed out so much with the hands in the air. That's not a typical reaction from a veteran umpire. What, did he think the ball was going to hit him, so he got real flinchy? His hands had no business going above his head like that unless he was calling foul, HBP, or was being held up at gunpoint.
