What the talking heads are not smart enough to realize is that while they said it should have been a home run, that opinion was based upon their view of where the ball landed and not where it passed the foul pole. Well their view (and the view of the camera) was 30 feet above the field. Pretty easy for them to make that judgment with a tainted view.

Sally Walker didn't have that vantage point. She didn't have the luxury of seeing where the ball landed because the dark temporary fence blocked her view of where the ball landed. She had to make her call based only upon where the flight of the ball was in relation to the foul pole which is what she is supposed to do.
