I dont think that is a good "look".

DITTO right back to you Chris. Davidson actually was hands on knee set (why? I don't know) waiting for the play in the dirt area in front of home plate. I agree with you that he should have been first base line extended to line up the fly ball to left field and then been coming into the play after the ball is released and the runner is coming home.
It's one thing to screw up a mechanic because 9 times out of 10, no one else knows it except for us (umpires). But when you reverse a call that was correct to begin with, AFTER the manager "talks" you into it, really makes UMPIRES look bad.
