Hey, Lawerence, I'm not ragging on them. I usually give them the benefit of the doubt. But they flat out missed a call that should not have been missed by experienced Major League umpires. The ball that was in the other hand wasn't even close to the body, it was hanging out there for all to see.
But hey, it happens. I'm not killing them for it. If Womack is not leaning toward third and breaking before the pitcher commits, the tag play isn't even an issue.
I'm just surprise the missed what should have been an easy and obvious call. And if was in a similar situation and missed the same call, all that has been said would apply to me as well.

It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
