I just watched the melee.
The crew cheif(Crawford) was at 1B and the 4 umpires huddled around leyland for what seemed like an eternity. Crawford ended it with "That's what I'm gonna have to do." and it looked like he was the one deciding to dump the Tigers pitcher.
Has anyone else ever seen a pitcher dumped like this not by the PU? Maybe I have missed it over the years but, usually, the PU dumps him right away, right?
