When it was happening, I was also interested in seeing that Fowler didn't mess up the throw and he didn't. Two outstanding no-calls (with great mechanics!!). What a play!

With all of the glaring blown calls in these four series (Kulpa's astounding out call at third in Game 1 Rockies/Phils; Bucknor's two glaring blown calls at first in Anaheim; the absurd Cuzzi blowing of the easiest call in umpiring), the superb handling of that play was a refreshing sight.

Oh, and I am not saying that I am better than any of the extremely highly paid and vastly more experienced umpires I just criticized, I am simply illustrating the cold, hard reality that they were blown calls---glaringly so.

And again, that's simply my opinion.
