Just like the FPSR IMO, the call the other night is not consistent.

In the Cubs / Dodgers series, Derek Lee slid into second base on the front end of a DP. Lee actually had his hand raised in the air which F4/F6 (can't remember) hit when throwing to first base.

Nothing was called.

The bottom line is this: It is a judgement call and just like the FPSR IMO, you will not see it called consistently from game to game.
