OK, not a problem, but the explaination given was

Say what - just goes to show that even the MLB's can say something sometimes they wish they had not said. If that was what was said ...

Saltalamacchia was HBP. The umpires called it no attempt so the HBP stood. Girardi got ejected arguing about it.
It was marginal in replay. It did look like the last part of the bat movement might have been a reaction to being hit.
Go Yanks!
