I’m not debating whether he should have come out of the game or not. I’m just saying that the way it happened was most unusual. Usually the manager or pitching coach will go out to the mound to see if the pitcher is gassed or not or the catcher will signal the dugout to go out to the mound, the pither will say he is fine, and the manager will then have to decide if he believes what he is hearing or if the tone and body language tells another story which results in the hook. In this particular case none of that happened. Gray motioned to the dugout to come get me and that was it.
