A few years ago MLB thought it would be a good idea to have umpire supervisors present for the latter part of the post-season. Sometimes their presence was known, other times it wasn't, possibly because nothing transpired that necessitated their introduction and involvement.
Perhaps in this obstruction correction by McCarver situation, Steve Palermo was off camera with a gun to Tim's head, telling him to correct himself or the trigger would be pulled.
