An inch or inches certainly isn't a foot and a half! Its a miss that nobody can see for sure except the umpire and maybe a base coach.

I agree, 18 inches ain't no neighborhood. It does have to be a "miss" that nobody can be sure they saw and it has to look good - fielder can't act like he missed - and that's an out as I "see" it.
