Of course that ties into the equation. If Francona would have stayed in the dugout we would have a double and a run scoring instead of a HR.

Same for the other plays. Actually the coach asked for an explaination and ended up with the call being right. Talk about helping the umpire out.

Imagine what would have happened to Marsh if the play would have been uncontested and all of TV world knew it was a HR and it didn't get called. His nickname would be Denkinger.

BAck to the 80's we go.

I did not see the play on TV. I did hear it on the radio (live). I do not know what came first, the coach coming out or not. But I do know if I had information to give my partner, the actions of the coach would be irrelevant.

I think I understand what you are saying, but the actions of the coach would matter.

If you had information, you would tell me you would go to the BU and tell him, its a HR even if no one had disputed the call?

I don't believe that you would do that.

The coach asks for the umpire to explain the call and then if the umpire wants to ask for clarification etc., he asks.

That's the way its always worked in my leagues and the way MLB is starting to do now.

Thanks
