Had he stuck with the call, it seems to me then it could have been in the category of "worst call" or "most abominable" calls ever. Since he clearly didn't, seems to me it just ends up looking bad.
And Enberg using that word comes across as ignorant and inexperienced. Was that the most abominable throw from a pitcher to a catcher that he's ever seen?
It was needless dumping, and he'll get away with it because no one (outside of officials) ever thinks twice about dumping on officials. When a million dollar pitcher panics and launches what should be an easy 60 foot throw to the back stop, that should be the focus rather than a momentary, but corrected, lapse in focus from the umpire. The umpire's error had absolutely no effect on the game. That can't be said for the pitcher's throw.
