It should be noted that the manager may not have even known that Davidson should have made the call. In the post game interview he stated that he came out because he had a good view of R3 and that he thought R3 left early. The ESPN guy then asked if part of the reason he came out to challenge the call was because of the rotation of the umpires. The manager replied by saying no, the only reason he came out was because he personally thought R3 left early.
