Was the first base umpire correct yesterday?

That's my point.

However egregious errors by umpires not affecting the outcome of a game or a season often result in histrionic managerial theatrics, less so now than before the advent of video replay. I sort of miss seeing irate managers getting tossed of the game by an umpire. Don't you?

A priceless tirade. It started out as an act I think to make sure Murray didn't get himself tossed, but it took on a life of its own.
