No, there was no penalty for that.Dane Rampe was pretty out of line that game. Did he give away a free kick for his insult towards an umpire?
And I get that no umpire wants to be seen as "so soft" that they're the first to dish up a free for that type of trash talk, but they absolutely should not have to put up with it. They put up with more than enough crap as it is. Yeah they get things wrong too often, but I feel confident in saying that leaving them exposed to all manner of childish insults is not going to improve their ability to umpire better.
