Ozzy, if that's what happened then McClelland would have signalled safe immediately. There would have been no need for him to wait. From the video, McClelland, didn't see a tag of the plate that's why the no signal. Then he gave the safe sign. It appears as though McClelland simply Froze on the call.

if he thought the tag was in time (beat the runner) then mcc was waiting to see if barret could retain posession of the ball--thus the delay. if barret had held onto the ball mcc prolly would have called him out.
if thats the case then mcc was right to wait--he had the runner touching the plate the whole way--he was waiting to see if barret dropped the ball which he did--safe!
OR--its a big MLB consspiracy....first mr Winters takes out Bradley...the umps thought that would kill off the Pads for Sure....but...they refused to die-- so mr Mcc takes it opon himself to END it at the plate last night.... its all clear now!
