This is why the batter went nuts. That is a reason, not an excuse. The umpire created the situation...the batter reacted in a completely inappropriate manner and should certainly be sanctioned for his inexcusable action.
Of course, the umpire should be sanctioned, as well. I also think it should be a public act.

I'm sorry. I deal with reality and facts not suppositions.
It's okay to disagree. You can believe that umpires are subject to violence as a direct result of their calls.
I don't. Thankfully, MLB doesn't.
Enjoy your evening. Moving on, now.
