Does someone here know for a fact that Bob didn't really and accurately see the missed base? Did you hear Bob state that? If so, please do tell; otherwise, it's best one stifle his comments on it being a bad call.
I know enough about simple geometry to figure out that he had no way of knowing if Oswalt missed the base.

To assume that just because he made the call, he was sure is beyond absurd. To use your logic, MLB umps do not miss calls at all, because they only make calls when they are "sure".
