The non-call was made by all four crew members, all four of which are current working MLB umpires.

I will be saddened if any proschool owner is inserting his judgment based on a video clip over that of four of his former colleagues. But more than that, I will discount it. UES-2 can go on and on, as he has demonstrated, but the fact is not one of the four MLB umpires working that game and who had the opportunity to call an IFF believed the call should have been made.

Sorry Chris, but if it is your hero who is UES-2's source, he has been drinking.
