So how are you explaining the lack of protection of a fielder who in actuality missed making the catch by about 1 inch when the coach comes out?
(Incidentally and mildly related --- anyone notice that neither umpire called OBS on F1, who BR clearly had to slalom around during the somehow live foul ball?)
