I think it's supposed to be a sendup of the umpire looking over the shoulder of the catcher when he's at work? So now the umpire is doing it even when he's at the computer?

Sportscenter has a lot of silly promos. This is just one in a LONG string.

If folks can't cope maybe they need to change jobs.

Hmmmm. Do umpires make annoying small talk with catchers when they're both waiting for the pitch? I often talk to catchers when play is relaxed. But not when I'm looking in for the pitch.

I just didn't find the humor in it. Most of the other SportsCenter commercials involving sports figures are pretty funny, like the one where the NASCAR driver is trying to remove a speed bump in the parking lot.
