There are still a few out there. It doesn't surprise me that they are hiding after this type of play. It was a tough call with an unexpected outcome. Some umpires believe that making the expected call is an honor. Yeah, it gets them ratings and assignments but they cheat the game by doing it. Expected calls are rarely fair and umpiring is supposed to be all about that endeavor.
