Steve,
Don't give McCarver credit...It was Joe Buck who first realized and then
insisted that Barrett had delayed his call to make sure Torrealba had held on to the ball...McCarver then subsequently agreed with Buck.
Not that I like Buck...but in this case if Buck wasn't there, McCarver would still be going on about Barrett having delayed his call because Manny "didn't touch the plate," and how wrong Barrett was, blah, blah, blah.
During live action and the first two replays I thought Barrett had missed it. Then they showed the third replay...Good call!
McCarver is clueless.
