I saw it as it happened, then saw numerous replays. Bob Scanlon even said that in real time, it looked like Gonzales' momentum carried him off the base, combined with the angle the umpire had that blocked his view of Gonzales' foot. In slow motion you can see that Gonzales got his foot back on the base, under control, with no momentum going away from the base. The tag was clearly applied with the intention of pushing him off the base. It was a very tough call in the real speed in which it happened. At first looked, I was calling it with the umpire, but in hindsight it appeared an intentional push off by Rollins.
