As I walk away I am thinking F5 may not have gotten the glove on him. Maybe I am thinking this because of this thread, don't know, but I do know there was not a peep from anyone.

I had the other side of this situation over the weekend. Batter hits a shot in the gap and tries for 3. The throw comes in while he's 15 feet from 3B, and F5 puts his glove down and holds it there. The BR's foot hits glove and wrist: no spiking, but he'd broken that wrist before and had to leave the game.
The ball came out, and my timing was impeccable, so the call was easy.
