Not this time, but this guy has punched an umpire before (apparently common knowledge). This umpire wasn't going to let it happen to him. Should he have waited for a sucker-punch? Damned if you do (hold him off by the neck), damned if you don't (and get bitch-slapped by this AH).

I don't think PU wasn't being defiant. I think he was trying to communicate the best that he could (given the language barrier) that a manager is not supposed to be arguing balk calls. Over here arguing a balk call is asking for an EJ. "I'm turning my back" is body language (though also misinterpreted at times) meaning we're done here, you need to go. The manager asked for an explanation of the call. PU obliged him with a brief one. Then again tried to communicate not to be arguing balk calls...we're done here. But apparently some of the baseball protocol that we follow is not done so much in the far east.
