I'm rather surprised by that response, given that what started it all was a boot by Pedroia. If he had fielded it cleanly, I can see some justification for not wanting to challenge. But because Pedroia had to rush the throw which, IMO, led to Drew coming off early so that he could get a good throw lane to first, the call should have been challenged.
