Controversy at WBC - USA vs Japan

[BigUmp56]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the yellow numbers on the sleeves or the black ball bags with navy shirts. What's the WBC stand for? "We're Broke Constantly."

This is what Davidson had to say after the game about the play.

"It's a tag-up situation," Davidson said in a postgame statement. "In a bases-loaded situation, our mechanics [are] that it's the [home plate umpire who] lines up the tag. Brian Knight hustled over to third, where he's supposed to be, but he doesn't have the tag-up call. It's the plate umpire's call.

"I had it lined up. The wrong umpire made the initial call. It's the plate umpire, which is me, and I had him leaving early and called him out."
