Yeah that makes sense now, he was calling a foul tip, but he looked at the ball to see it had dirt on it which made it a foul ball.

The batter knew it also since he never took his helmet off and was just kind of standing there waiting for them to get it right.

Davidson then kind of did his best Lou Pinella act. Must have been tired of the manager that day or something.

Thanks
