"Stupidist rule ever"? The news crew admit they dont want the umpire to tip the defense, but they want no call on that type of play which would tip off the runner hadnt touched. And, by rule, once past the base the runner is assumed to have touched it until properly appealed, so, safe would be the correct call.

With that being said, if the umpire isnt suppose to tip the defense, maybe he shouldnt have made the safe call and then stood there staring at home plate. (Even though she did actually touch it in replay)
