Colin Dunlap weighs in on a wacky situation that happened recently in a high school baseball playoff game in Georgia.

Well, first things first, I guess you have to take a look at this film before you proceed any further. It is right here:

Now, it sure looks to me --- and probably most of you --- that Mr. Catcher and Mr. Pitcher were, in fact, on the EXACT same page and what happened to Mr. Umpire went exactly as planned. As a guy who has played a lot of baseball, I can say this: doing that to an umpire is a downright sacrilege and one of the most despicable and deplorable things you can do in the realm of a baseball game.

Hey, if the ump gets hit with a foul ball, so be it.

If the ump gets hit with a pitch because the pitcher and catcher genuinely get their signals crossed, so be it.

But zinging the umpire with a fastball in the face on purpose? No, never.
