Bobby Cox came out and argued and managed to stay in the game. Later in the game, Lopez got called again and he and Bobby got early showers. I still don't understand the rule...

i think that was back when the braves started making the catchers box bigger than the book says to make it. they got called on it by the other team and wanted to re-chalk it before the game (or during the game, cant remember).
