BTW: Let's not forget 8.02c, which the umpires could have invoked: They would then have left Matusi on third, warned Mendoza, and ejected Mel Stottlemeyer (the assistant coach - grin).

The pitching coach for the Yankees is Stottlemeyer. Not sure who it is for the Sox. Mendoza pitches for the Sox. Now talk about a blow up if you dump a Yankees coach for a Red Sox blunder...lol [/B]
You didn't read my post carefully. I'll slow it down.

If the umpires had invoked 8.02c, then:

1. Yankee Matusi would not score. ("It's not a balk!)
2. Pitcher Mendoza would be warned as per black letter law.
3. The assistant coach for the Yankees would be ejected for arguing Mendoza's move was a balk.

Perhaps you're just not familiar with my phrase: "..., and eject the assistant coach."
