It sounds like he was a pretty gullible umpire to let the fielder talk him into making an out call by rolling the ball to the mound. If the runner were really off the base, the umpire would have called it right away, and not waited for the fielder to trick him.
That fielder would have just gotten a blank, vacuous look from yours truly, and somebody really should go pick up the ball before the runner takes off for third.
