I agree...he may have been working over the top of him, but probably not too far outside. I think we're splitting hairs over slot/no slot. You need to be in position to see the pitch, if the catcher takes away your slot, you do the best you can to see the pitch and F2 has to give you a good look if they want a strike called inside.
When I look at it again, it almost appears as though he was being lazy and didn't work where he should've been working and got drilled because of it. F2 was not really taking away his slot at all.
