It really looked pretty involuntary to me. He was running and trying to stop and it sure looked more like a bobble than any kind of voluntary action on his part. Maybe slowed down like the replay was it could be construed that way, but in real time it would be tough to call it a voluntary release.
Rick Sutcliffe is still a Boob nonetheless. You can't blame what happened after that play on the umpire's call. Typical rat commentary.
It sure looked as though Emmel had enough of an angle to make the correct call, and getting farther out there wouldn't have changed anything. Sutcliffe is dwelling on that way too much.
