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.

I am really surprised the Padres didn't go more ballistic on the play.

Bottom line last night's play is why MLB NEEDS Instant replay. Give Football credit regardless of what one thinks of IR.

Never mind, I just saw a better view of the whole thing. I agree that Holiday missed the play, McClellan blew the call an in this video, when Holiday rolles over, I can see that he is not grabbing his hand at all.

Thank you ESPN.
