It's not that he missed it that bothers me. It's that he missed it because he was out of position that bothers me.
Almost every blown call I see made by an MLB ump is due to poor mechanics or positioning. He was out of position and couldn't even see the bag or the tag, so he had to guess and he guessed wrong.
Same deal with the foul ball call in the earlier series. The ump was moving and not on the line to begin with.
If they actually put the effort into proper mechanics, we wouldn't see this rash of blown calls.
