Cruz had the best angle and he certainly made a reaction that could have influenced Davidson to think that we thought he just saw was in fact what he just saw.

And Garner did not argue the call...
Three replay angles were better than Davidson's angle and they were inconclusive. There is no freaking way that anyone can claim he was not guessing. If he got it right(which he does not know, Garner does not know and we do not know) he got it because he had a 50/50 chance. It was a lousy decision by him in the 11th inning of a game.

Davidson did not see a base missed. Garner did not see a base missed. Cruz may have seen it.

Davidson blew it because he is a poor professional umpire.
