Terry Collins dismissed by Doug Eddings: atmlb.com/ej2T7QLooks like Eddings missed it. He should have appealed to the 1st base umpire.

I agree that Doug should have asked Dana Demuth for help. It does appear that Doug has calmed down just a bit . He really let Terry Collins have his say before he ran him.

I understand you have to draw the line at some point and not ball then appeal every quarter, half, three-quarters swing or every shoe-top catch/no catch. However, many times these types of arguments would be avoided if the plate umpire would just point and ask.
Also, Eddings was over-ruled a week ago when he went to Demuth for help and Demuth had to dump Maddon with the TB Rays. Maybe Eddings didn't want to have Demuth bail him out again. Over the season, that'll start to wear on fellow umpires if they have to bail out their crewmates then have to quell the riot.

Bob bashers , Jerry Layne is still out. Vic Cararpazza is replacing him. Bob Davidson is the crew chief in Arizona.

This may be his chance to prove he may be a future Crew Chief....I have Meals, Nelson and Everret ahead of him not to mention Jim Joyce.

Bob Davidson I believe id going on 59. Frank Pulli was near 60 when he made crew Chief.
There are a good number of less contoversial umpires awaiting their opportunity to be a crew chief also. How many have turned down the opportunity other than Dutch Rennert.

I think the next crew chief will be either Wally Bell or Angel Hernandez.
