Point completely missed again.
Umpire A is in the correct position to make a call, sees what he sees, and calls one thing. Umpire B is not in correct position, and is 90 feet further from the play than Umpire B. B sees something different, and feels A blew the call. Who is most likely right?
Him.
Had you discussed this with him after the game, you might find him saying that your version of the events were as bad as you are now saying his version was.
(Also --- when you saw the runner 6 feet off the bag, how did you also see the catch? From your angle, this play was peripheral to your line of sight on the runner (or were you looking at the catch and THEN the runner?))
