mbcrowder,

I guess we are just not going to be able to agree today! I'm calling her safe. And if the ball moves like this on every tag play, then I have a safe call on every tag play. There was way too much movement of the ball to suggest control. If she had closed the glove like Irish suggested you wouldn't have seen that type of movement. Most of the tag plays I see are executed better than this. And as someone else pointed out, she had to grab the ball at the end to prevent it from coming out. No control. She's safe.
