I asked him "take score out of the equation. What if it is tied or A is ahead?" He said, "Charge." Anybody have any comments or thoughts on this philosophy?
"Dumb" is the word that comes to mind. Reversing an obvious call based on the score? Gotta wonder how that philosophy has allowed this guy to get to post season with any degree of frequency. I wouldn't call it "game management". I'd call it poor officiating.
