used one earlier in the game then the second one on the play at third. That means the challenge on the hbp had to come from the refs. Yet,the plate umpire was very demonstrative when Call was hit. I think he kept repeating "I got it, I got it" as he ushered Call to first thus forcing home the winning run.

It looked to me like the ball nicked the underside of the brim of his helmet. That would have made a distinctive noise hence the call. I thought it was odd then that there was a challenge and then that it took so long.

So to mh's point I thought it was over reach for refs to get involved.
