The third base coach should have put up more of a fight on this one. If I am missing something please tell me but I dont see how the crew got this right.

I was watching the game on the dish from a Florida feed. They showed a different replay that showed Patterson being tagged first with the mitt and then with the ball in F2's other hand, followed by F2 then also tagging Martinez on his left hip with the ball in his hand. That tag was screened by Longoria in the video posted above but the umpire was looking right at it and had a great view. Both tags plainly showed showed on the replay that I saw.
Righteous call!
