Those "cues" are not apple to apple comparisons.

Maybe it was incorrect after looking at it in slow motion, but at real time speed, the runner flinched on his front foot and it looked like he left early.

Maybe if he would of been in the correct position (first base line extended) to line up the tag rather than third base line extended (w/ hands on knees set?), maybe he would of seen that his foot was still on the bag at the time of the catch.

I do agree with you that Davidson is NOT out to be "seen" since the new WUA contract already has him, along with Hallion and Hickox as automatically getting the next 3 MLBU jobs. Moreover, he has 18 years in the game, I think his experience speaks for itself.
