Are you an umpire?
This is a very, very difficult call to make. The plate guy has *no* chance of seeing this. The other 3 umpires are over 100 feet away. The fielder charging probably had the best look at it and Leyland read his player's reaction.
I'm not going to blame anyone. I've been in this exact same situation and, well, **** happens.
