Regardless of how much we may conject, opine, pontificate, object or project (ie...future actions by the defense) the rule was administered correctly!
There is one opinion that matters....and is the final determinate...
And it is not yours or mine!!
The umpires made the correct call at UA and in this case!!
Whether our opinion differs or not!!
Kudo's to them!!

Citation? I certainly cannot find anything which supports that call in either game.
