I gotta go with the blue on this one. Good mechanics, good call, good reaction to the late appeal. I'm not sure a hesitation call at 1st would have done anything either way. I believe the safe call should be made. However, if no call was made, I'm not sure it would give anything away here. BUT , consistency is a good ruler for the umpire. If he always makes the call at 1st, as he should, he should make it this time, with no hesitation, after he determines the correct call.
