I didn't see the play live, but as soon as I saw the play with no commentary I knew the crew had gotten together. Laz Diaz absolutely had a better view of Schilling's foot on the bag. For some reaosn, Dana was in foul territory and could not have possibly seen whether Schilling's foot got the side of the bag. Diaz, following the play down the line, should have and did see it with no problem. There was nothing "rare" about a ground ball- FWIW I've had this situation a couple of times this year where a coach has asked either my partner or I to ask for help on a foot on the bag.

If you want to make a stink about something, debate whether Schilling actually beat Lugo to the bag. Dana and Laz got it right here.
