The BU needs an eye test. And some remedial mechanics study.

Depends, I suppose.

If the umpire said he didn't see the tag, perhaps there was no tag. Perhaps the OP (or whoever relayed this story to him) THOUGHT (from over 100 feet away no doubt) that there was a tag and the umpire said he didn't see it - but the umpire did, in fact, see the tag ATTEMPT - and said, "I saw no tag".

This is, in fact, how I read this sitch the first time - no tag.
