I agree that in this case Joyce didn't appear to be putting himself into the spotlight, so my comment, in this thread for this situation, was unwarranted.
That said, the interpretation of the point to mean that they are blowing calls "on purpose" is incorrect. I don't think anyone who, like me, is tired of the umps injecting themselves into the show thinks they intentionally call it wrong. I think the issue we see is that their apparent desire to be a part of the show impacts their judgment, leading them toward making the "big call", whether it be right or wrong.
