Didn't you just answer your own question?

I don't think I did.
Carl:
I think your scenario 2 is different than what happened in Roper's game. In yours, the defense is trying to game you to gain an advantage. You can't let them do that.
In Roper's, the PU was doing this as a FYC. It was a men's league game, F5 was fooling around and threw only one pitch doing an imitation someone, then the real F1 came out. Think disadvantage/advantage. It didn't hurt anyone. If you feel like it, take one pitch off of the real F1's warmup.

Exactly. And a good FYC is subtle, yet clearly gets the message across. Roper's umpire just looks like an a$$hole.

Sorry, but Jeff doesn't look like the a$$holea in this scenario.
Imagine if your attitude was symptomatic of the way Big Dogs treat rookies.

Re-read the article.
It sounded like the umpire showed them who was boss. With glee.
It's un-necessary and it's silly and it puts the umpire in a position to dramatically affect the game. And any FYC shouldn't do that although I haven't really bothered with an FYC in quite some time.
I missed the nasty remark. But thanks for letting me know that you put one in instead of deleting it altogether.
