And I agree, one part Rollie left out was that Yeast, while praising getting the call right recommended that it be handled differently. But an accurate reporting of the events would not have supported Rollie's point.
One wonders if Officiating.com needs a fact checker to help prevent deliberate deception in its articles.

Since this involves me, I want everyone to know that this very point was addressed in my rebuttal of Rollie's article.
Specifically, I said:
While Yeast was happy with the final outcome, he is careful to point out that the plate umpire's help was pre-emptive. On the play, after the original out call, Yeast points out that the first-base coach would have surely asked U1 to get help. I suspect his comments to the crew behind closed doors would have been more pointed. While he didn't condemn the PU's actions publicly (well, he sort of did by pointing out he should have waited to be asked), I suspect his comments in the locker room would have been more to the point....wait to be asked!
