"Revere reached on an error to start the eighth, but Michael Young grounded a ball to Marlins third baseman Ed Lucas. Revere slid headfirst into second as he appeared to break up the double play. But Davidson, 60, said Revere interfered with the play, intentionally wrapping his arms around Marlins second baseman Derek Dietrich.
Replay showed that never happened.
"What did I do?" Revere asked Davidson.
"You grabbed his leg," Davidson replied.
"How?"
"You grabbed it?"
"Are you serious?"
Revere could shake his head and laugh afterward. The Phillies won.
"It's ridiculous, but I enjoyed the fans," Revere said. "I never heard that. Some of the coaches said they never heard an umpire get it like that. It was funny. I'm glad we won the game, because if that was the reason we lost, I'd be so mad. It was clear I didn't grab his leg. I know he was standing right there and he said he did see it, so I was like, 'You may need some glasses or something.'"
Said Manuel, who is nearly 10 years older than Davidson: "I don't know what he was seeing. Bob's kind of getting a little old.""
