I also don't see things that the announcers do discuss. Baseball is a complicated game, always stuff going on.
Tonight, A-Rod hits a lined shot to the wall, trots to first, then finally shifts gears but is called out at second. U1 inexplicably did not cut in on the play (U3 went out, U2 to third). A-Rod starts to whine, umpire says something and walks away, and then A-Rod yells something more. Umpire comes back in on him and they argue some. 1st base coach gets A-Rod to the dugout.
Dummie Paul O'Neill talks about how the call was wrong, A-Rod did what he had to do to get second, and the umpire was wrong for arguing back.
Guess 2,000 some hits really makes you understand baseball from the whining perspective, which I don't think most fans want to listen to.
Off soap box.

Now what MLB crew butchered a play this bad that Paul O'Neill is such a dummie.
BTW-What umpire called A-Rod out at second? Sounds like no one was left at the base.
Not to worry. When the Rocket launches this Saturday against the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates, I sure the Yanks will be able hold off the surging Devil Rays for fourth place in the AL East. Third is even possible if the mightly Baltimore Orioles lose a middle reliever and the Toronto Blue Jays have to trade their back up catcher so they can bring up a set up man from Double AA.
