My only thoughts were how ridiculous the plate umpire looked performing his warning dance. He pointed so many directions I thought a disco ball was coming out. Very unprofessional looking, imho. Like he's never given a warning for this before in his life, or it was the very first time he'd ever seen anyone thrown at, and blew a gasket in anger.

The fact that he was going to bolt out from behind the plate and violently point and yell should have flipped the light switch that this should have been more than a warning.

Most warnings seem generally calm. This was just weird.

I agree. Something like...

"Everyone look at me!!! I am boldly putting my foot down and angrily doing nothing whatsoever!!!! Thus Spaketh I!!!!!"
