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.

He should be sanctioned for a missed pitch? Really???

Exactly, Jeff. But only after being physically attacked. After all, he started it.

What cracks me up is do these people realize that if they missed a call, they would be rather upset if they were suspended over one missed call? We have technology that shows these things (and they have been proven to not be accurate as well) to show these things. But when many famous MLB Pitchers were in the game, no one hardly said a word if that pitcher go that pitch called a strike. I just do not get this self-righteousness over something that I am sure if we all had our game broken down that way, we would have at least one pitch no in that little computer zone.
