i have noticed the lack of cell phones in the dugout. Perhaps there is a rule ... which prevents extra coaching sitting in the private boxes upstairs phoning down to the manager for discussion. I really think the manager and coaching staff in the dugout are on their own and cannot get input the way NFL coaches have staff upstairs in the stadium.
