Umpires are turning into such douches. If you know an umpire's name, chances are he's a cocksucker.

You question balls and strikes as a catcher and you have to expect to be treated with no respect

Catchers questioning balls and strikes occurs every game. An ump will squeeze your pitcher or make you pay at the plate but you have to really show them up by barking loud or making motions to embarass them. This seems extremely ridiculous for an umpire and he should be fined or suspended a few games.
