The best I can come up with is that this was a safe call because he didnt see an out. His call seemed unsure and his reasoning in his interview seemed unsure.
That may have not been a bang bang play, but it was a huge play - a sure umpire would have sold it.
A smarter sell call no matter what you saw would have been better as well.
Everyone makes errors, I think this was a mechanic error on the part of the umpire.
