But they also picked up a lot of chatter on the field. After a dubious ball/strike call, something uninttelligible came out of the dugout, and the home plate ump took of his mask turned toward the duout and held up his finger. Unusually, what he yelled back was clear: "That's twice now, Jerry! Don't push me!" It's hard to imagine such an exchange happening under Willie (even if the mics generally picked the umps up, which they don't*). And this was only Manuel's second game. I think, during the previous tenure, the ump would've been yelling, "Hey, someone wake up Willie and let him know he's pissing his job away for refusing to show any life in the dugout."
