Yesterday, for example, the refs just made up a rule that the offense 'set' too fast and didn't give the defense enough time to 'set' themselves.

That's one thing I always liked about baseball. There's little that has to do with "intent". Was the pitcher's foot on the rubber or not? Did the catcher interfere, or not? Basketball is the worst on assigning mind-reading to the officials. Football is getting there (new versus old rules on face masking, for instance). Basketball makes a distinction between fould done on purpose, and fouls that are flagrant. ?!?!

There’s a reason you don’t see MLB players doing the moonwalk or cartwheels down to first after drawing a walk or dancing around and chest pounding after throwing someone out at second. There’s a reason you often see NFL and NBA players celebrating and chest pounding after falling on a loose ball or dunking when there isn’t a defender within 30 feet of them.
