This is NOT a manager challenge...by rule, it is umpire initiated (as are reviews of F2 blocking the plate, which is one of the challenges attributed to Melvin). FWIW, I also think NY badly kicked both this one & the transfer in BOS tonight.
Each Instant Replay Review is ascribed to a requesting team. I will modify future verbiage to indicate and disassociate total Replay Reviews from Manager's Challenges.
Where would I find "The fielder must have secure possession in his hand for it to be a catch" in the rules?
By the way, Vanover and Kellog aren't the replay official crew chiefs this week. Vanover is in Philly and Kellogg is in DC
Just saw another example of this in the TB / KC game. Same thing that would have been an out last year. Very confusing why they would change this.
Is it Torre or LaRussa?
KJW, The rumors I mentioned above now seem to be confirmed by a post on umpire empire from the Wendelstedt school. See here: http://umpire-empire.com/index.php/topic/56705-and-another-transfer-they-say-wasnt-controlled/?p=215656
I'm not sure; but which one thinks he invented baseball?
