Easy call?
Sitting in your living room and watching 13 replays and 3 paragraphs of media coverage is an "Easy Call"
Being behind the plate or at the game and missing the call was not easy. HP ump was blocked out by batter and the batter did take a full swing. It also seems quite possible that the runner thought it was a dropped ball too.
Should it have been a dead ball? yea but, it obvious that it wasn't because they didn't call it.
