BU is too far away to have any credibility in making this call - especially when the lines are gone.

Somewhat agree, but I think everyone is making too much out of this.
This violation isn't that hard to call especially when the foot is in front of the plate. If it is bad enough to call, the violation will most likely be so obvious it will grab your attention.
Seeing this will almost become second nature, much like an experienced umpire gets a feel for the player's abilities around him/her.
Please understand, I'm not suggesting you call it if you think you see this. This is one of those calls that if you have to think about it, don't call it.
