Clearly in violation? I read the rule four times and I can't see how McClelland was "clearly" in violation of a rule. He was the PU. He is well within his rights to do that.
Whatever happened to getting a call correct? There's nothing wrong with discussing a call and fixing a mistake.
McClelland made the correct call IMO. The replay was more than conclusive that the glove was in front of the pole. The ball hit the glove. How Hernandez could miss that is beyond me, but I'm not on the field.
Tim McClelland is quite possibly one of the best umpires in MLB. He always has a consistent zone and a consistent call, even if it's not audible to the television audience. The voice call is for the people within the vicinity of you. The signal is for everyone else. McClelland best exemplifies this.
Again, this is all my opinion and is not meant to be offensive or argumentative to anyone.
