In this case, it was a little more noticeable that something was going on as Barajas was standing up instead of crouching down. Most managers would probably get thrown out here, and Campos did a good job walking away and letting Dale Scott take over.UmpsRulenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-50897306480108653092012-05-03T07:42:54.834-07:002012-05-03T07:42:54.834-07:00I noticed that wasn't the only crew with two A...I noticed that wasn't the only crew with two AAA umps working last night.
