Derryl Cousins is the crew chief. He was at third. You'd think he would have come to his colleague's aid.

The problem with giving to the manager is that it becomes a strategic decision. I hate it in football when the announcer says, "Well he just has to challenge that because its such a big play." That's just fishing. In this case, I think the crew chief would have allowed a replay, especially if Joyce asked for it.
