I was surprised at Greg Gibson's call at 2B last night. Replay showed that Biggio (Astro's F4) missed the tag on a Molina by at least 3 inches. LaRussa came out to argue, naturally, but apparently didn't ask Gibson to get help.
Is that not done in MLB? I kept thinking: surely U1 saw that there was no tag, and merely asking him would have done the trick. It was a force play and so Gibson had to watch the base, until the play blew up in his face. He was instantly straightlined. You can't blame him for the call, but why didn't he get help?
