Double-A Mississippi's Phillip Wellman on Friday and Class-A Asheville's Joe Mikulik last year – is at heart a philosophical debate. I have seen the short clip about both of their action,
of course, I like wellman's much better because his millitary action

Yes, shoving dirt over homeplate is one of the traditional ways to show displeasure at an umpire without actually touching the umpire, which is a no no. Keeping home plate free of dirt is one of the duties of the umpire, so that the plate remains visible to the pitcher, batter, and umpire. By dusting the plate, the manager or disgusted player is forcing the umpire get out his brush and bend down to clean off the plate. If you look at the shape of some of the larger umpires, bending down can not be an easy task! Its like throwing down trash in front of a janitor, instead of in a trash can, and telling him to clean it up.

He was trying to say to the ump that he didnt need the plate because he "couldnt see the strike zone anyway" and then drew a larger one around the outline of the plate. (I didnt see what prompted the outburst but it was funny as hell)
Basically its an insult towards the umpire and he just went a p e s h i t when he did the resin bag toss.
Gotta admit, I aint seen that move yet.......
Regardless, funny as hell.
