Being an umpire isn’t an easy job, I get it. You’re going to get yelled at a lot and you’re really only going to get noticed when you do something wrong, which has been happening a lot this MLB season.
But still, some of these guys are being a little too sensitive this season. Like the guy who stared down Madison Bumgarner earlier this year. Or the fella who almost confronted a Diamondbacks pitcher earlier this week.
The latest example of this came yesterday in Oakland when home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski had enough with A’s manager Mark Kotsay and quickly tossed him during a mound visit.
