On another note, this angle also show me this umpire ended up too close to the play. That wouldn't necessarily hurt on this call, but I wouldn't want to be that close to the players, even if pointing at the ball, tag or spot of the play.
+1 ... move me to the "safe" side of the ledger now. But BU did not have these two views. (And agreed he's too close - I almost said that from the first video).
