Marsh signaled safe to mean "no tag" and the announcers wondered why he was calling safe when A-Rod hadn't touched first. Maybe the umps should demand announcer training in their next contract negotiations.

Well, I think the 'announcers' can get a mulligan here as it was Lieter [read: player], not McCarver or Buck, who wondered why he called him safe. McCarver quickly, and correctly, said he signaled 'safe' to mean 'no tag'.
