I just watched that again, and it's even more embarrassing than I remembered. First you have the overwhelming smugness by those 2 numbnuts, as everything is "obvious" to them, and the umpires are simply buffoons who couldn't see anything.
THEN comes his complete spazzout. Then, after everything gets sorted out (except for tweedledum and tweedledee), the NEXT play Pagan gets into another rundown, and Hawk, almost in tears, starts screaming that he should do whatever he wants, because if he makes an out the ump will fix it.
They then spend the next half inning trying to justify their confusion (Brenly had to explain to Hawk what happened), by stating that the umps should have called a dead ball if it was interference. So remember, in Hawks world, if you are up by 2 with the bases loaded, and the other team hits a double, just tackle one of the runners, and it will be a dead ball, and only 1 guy will score.
Really it's like watching 2 five year olds desperately trying to get their way.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
