I finally just saw the replay. Anyway you look at, anyway you dice it, and anyway you slice it from every possible angle, that is an out and the correct call was made.
Joe West made the correct call. And another thing, for those of you who have very much disagreed with Joe West making this call in this kind of game or situation, that is why Joe West is where he is at with his career as an MLB umpire.
Good umpires step and make big calls in BIG situations. Those are the kind of people MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, and the NCAA want working at the top levels and working the playoff rounds, people that have big brass sets of b**** to make the big tough calls in big games.
Good Job Joe West!!
