A lot of announcers screwed that all up to hell the first few weeks of the season, falsely thinking only umps could initiate challenges after the 6th.
Still no excuse for him to sit on his ass about it. Even worse because it means he doesn't know the rules.

Could be an explanation. I'm sure not sure that Andy will ask though.

I can see it now after the game:

Press: Why didn't you challenge the play at the plate?
Yost: You can do that?

KevB 05-06-2014 10:44 PM
What a horrifically bad offense we have gentlemen. Padres are the NL equivalent.

SPchief 05-06-2014 10:44 PM
So, you send Davis back out right?

I'm not really talking about this play, I just wanted to make it clear that there actually is something to lose, hypothetically, if you challenge in the 9th.

Ned will have some bullshit excuse because he is never wrong.

That is the job of the GM.
Don't think Ned doesn't have any say in that because he does.

someone needs to ask. Its fine for dumb fans and ignorant announcers to not know the rules, but I'd expect the manager to know. If Ned says that his video guy told him not to challenge, then OK, if its as close as you guys are saying, then maybe the Royals need to fire their video guy.

I just got home. Is Davis pitching a second inning?
I smell walk-off.

But he isn't the one that makes the decision. Sure, he has a say, but Dayton is the one with the final say on roster moves.

Understood, in that situation though, there was nothing to lose

What do these guys (managers) have to go on to make their decision? In the NFL, there are coaches upstairs with access to the TV replays. Head Coach is basically relying on them to tell him what to do. I don't know what the situation is for MLB managers.
