Coach: Grumble, grumble, grumble (returns to dugout).
I'm not really sure what this guy was getting at, other than maybe just trying to get under my skin. Certainly, he couldn't have any real expectation that I was going to tell him anything differently than that I had the runner safe, or entertain any notion that I would possibly reverse the call.
I guess that it was just Stupid Question Day at the ballpark and somebody forgot to tell me!
