Well, as far as I could see, DeMuth must have felt pressure from the defense and on a 4 man crew, you can go into foul ground without a problem.
What pressure are you talking about - the ball was NOT hit deep in the hole between the second and first baseman. Regardless, since when does pressure require the first base umpire to swing ALL THE WAY TO THE COACH'S BOX in foul territory.

With all due respect OZ, the positioning on this play was bad - PERIOD.
Well, seeing as how we all saw this play 1000 times and DeMuth got to do it ONCE, I'm not going to argue this point.
