Umps that do it intentionally deserve to be out of the game. That call on Lawrie hypothetically could cost a playoff spot. What if Tampa had that happen in a game vs Boston last year. They don't run them down on the last day of the season. It matters. I agree totally. Umps that do it intentionally deserve to be out of the game.
