Wow. After seeing the video replays, I'm surprised that there hasn't been a backlash by MLB managers or players on the rule change. Were they even part of the decision process for the change? Or was this done unilaterally without their input?

BTW, I'm also surprised that Scioscia stayed in the game after Hamilton's play was reviewed and ruled a No Catch. Once a play is reviewed and a final ruling is made, managers should stay in their dugouts and not come out to get any clarification, IMO. They can ask between innings if they want, but not waste more game time.
