This is one of those "had to be there" type situations. This is also one of these plays that takes place a lot but unless you have seen it a lot you might have some doubt if you did the right thing. This is also a play that no matter what you call someone is likely going to complain about the call. So I would not worry about it that much. I have made this call several times and usually it is a lot easier to call when the batter moves into the pitch. If the batter froze, then it comes down to your best judgment.
As Al said, fans are idiots. Ignore what they have to say.
Peace
