You're an umpire.  You don't have feelings.

As I replied in the thread by @, Hallion is my favorite umpire. I really dig his Backwards-K punch out (What would you call that? An uppercut with a twist?). It's something that I myself wouldn't do (I would need _alot_ of practice to avoid falling over upon a 13-year old F2 and/or look like an idiot), but it's definitely unique within Major League Baseball, and does add to the Entertainment Value.

 

On a related note, I have been noticing that the "new guys" in the MLBU ranks have been doing a variety of "side-shooting" and less hammer. As a side-shooter for life, I dig it!

[UmpJeff]

We need more Cowbell...and less hammer!

Hallion is such a show off but after nearly two decades I think everybody is used to it.

Such a show off that he made it onto an MLB memes Instagram account earlier in the season, then I ripped it ahaha...I'm sure @Pete Peterson Sr loves it.

Who was it in the 80's that used to take 3 steps to the right and drop down to a knee to call a strike??

Sounds like Dutch Rennert. And he called them loud enough to take the paint of the wall.
