The catcher claimed in his interview that throwing the ball back to the pitcher kept his arm loose for attempted steals. (I don't buy it because he has every other pitch he catches to throw back) I think though an manager may have an argument here. He'd get tossed for sure, but I think the umpire was obviously trying to show up the catcher in this case.
There is nothing in the rules that determines who throws the ball back to the pitcher...do you think we may have another rule soon?
