I don't see this as an excuse. If they thought "the umps just called him out [for no reason at all / because they hate the Yankees / because MLB wants a game 7 / because GS wants a game 7], they're idiots. Otherwise, they just disagree with the call and - wait, I'm doing this wrong.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE EVER FOR ASSAULTING* PLAYERS OR UMPIRES.
*Placing the subject in a reasonable apprehension of harmful bodily contact, if I recall. They didn't show the baseballs going on the field, so I don't know how close they were to any particular players or umpires, but security felt it was enough of an issue to bring out cops in riot gear.**
** I recognize this may have just been a show of force to settle everyone down; still, they thought it necessary.
