I guess what I'm saying is can doing something like that with out atleast consulting with the crew make your partners seem incompetent. What if Francona said if Wolfe didn't feel like an immediate ejection was warranted, why are you over rulling him. Also, did you notice when the Yankees retaileated in the next inning, Wolfe did not come out and eject the pitcher. After it all settled down, the TV showed a cutway of McClelland talking with coaches Mel Stotlemeyer and Willie Randolph - I am assuming to see who was going to act as Manager since Torre was ejected along with the pitcher. Wolfe was not in the conversation, atleast not that the TV showed.
