Phillies protest IR ruling

Confusing mechanics here. Ozzy opines that the crew "must" use replay. Yet the PU needs to remain silent about his view until West asks for it in a conference. And the conference was not convened until after McKeon came out. That just doesn't seem a consistent procedure.

The crew didn't have the chance to get together before McKeon came out. He's pretty quick for his age!

Spoken by a real "want to be" umpire! Tell me, when was your last baseball game that you really officiated? You blurt out your vomit on this board trying to be "one of the gang" and we all know that you are an "arm chair umpire". You still haven't gotten the picture that things are not cut and dried by the printed rule. Of course, if you really officiated, you would realize this.
