I had a roommate who was a volunteer umpire, I asked him why umpires were so dramatic about calling their call, he explained that calling them as he saw it was the the only truth, therefore he should not be questioned, and the more conviction he exemplified in each of his calls, made it less likely anyone would call him out for his error

Lackey was lucky that he didn't get run after the first pitch. Throwing behind a hitter usually gets it done. But then to come back and hit the guy on the next pitch---what the hell did he expect would happen, LOL.

MLB should punish umpires who display these types of behavior regardless of what the union wants. People pay good money to watch baseball players, not umpires, trying to upstage them or blowing calls left and right (I'm looking at you, Angel Hernandez).
