Yes, he was there, but I was watching and wondering the same thing, WHY is he there?

In that sitch, if he WASN'T there, would the crew stop the game until someone showed up? (That's how I meant the question to come out, Bob!)

Not familiar with MLB rules, but if a PH was in the circle, is he now officially in the game? Or a better question would be, when is a PH officially in the game?

If he wasn't there and the umpires didn't stop the game until he was, no one other than an umpire would have noticed/cared.

If he wasn't there and the umpires did stop the game until he was, everyone would have noticed/cared/criticized them for killing the flow of the game/OOO.
