Seems like the right call to me.

Tough call, but looks right to me. Davidson protected F5 on the play, and his chance to field the ball was altered by a runner.

Great call.

I can just hear the third base coach, "But, there was no contact, no contact!"

Good call, but how many MLB umpires other than Davidson would have had the balls to make that call? 4 or 5?

I was wondering the same thing. That call, in extra innings. Of course, it did favor the home team.
