Besides, you KNOW it's not an out --- because the announcer kept saying it should be an out, and we all know that announcers are always wrong.

I saw it differently. I don't think Lima would have ever touched the ball had he not started toward 1st base. The ball was a good 2 feet out in front of the plate.
The ball was batted into the ground, out in front of the plate, popped straight up into the air, and Lima walked into it.
