What is up with umps on power trips calling guys out for stepping out of the box when 6 games have been played on the field and no box is visible? IMO no box=you cant call ppl out for stepping out of it. Judgement calls lead to more problems cuz biases and personal things between umpire and player. To go along with that i have only seen it 3 times. It was the same ump, same player, and same situation every time. Happened again Saturday. We were up by a bunch so he went back to the dugout but i was ondeck and jawing at the ump. Batter gets back in the dugout and says "wow" and is tossed for one word while ive been in the umps ear for a full minute. Kind of a rant but also a serious question. How can umps justify this?
