Is it lacking class for an announcer to suggest that a third baseman has made a very unwise throw? ie boneheaded play
In what instance would it be permissible to criticize an umpire?

You'd never hear an announcer say, "That was an abominable throw! That was the worst throw I ever seen!" Umpires, on the other hand, are fair game, and Enberg (since he started announcing Padres games) has been one of the worst homers and one of the worst umpire bashers in the bigs.
