I saw this. It was late in Tuesday's game, maybe the 8th inning? Certainly after Clemens was ejected because I tuned in just after that.

The description was accurate. A batter was at the plate, Hernandez had the lineup card in his hand. He looked at it after the first pitch, then again after the second and finally he put it away and took his indicator out his pocket. Only umpires probably noticed anyhting strange about that.

As a sidenote, Hernandez seems to be questionned more than most umpires. For example, there were a few strike calls that were on the corner and probably nothing would have been said if Tim McLelland had called them strikes. But when Angel is in umpiring, it seems you get more grumbling about calls that are borderline. My two cents.
