My first thought was that I thought the plate umpire was supposed to have this call. Isn't he responsible for the fair/foul call up the first base line so he should be looking right at the play. I think the confusion may have been about who was supposed to make that call, the first base ump or the plate ump. Kinda looked to me like they were both waiting for the other one to make the call. At least that is what it looked like as I watched the game last night.
On a plus side I think the announcers for the Cubs did a good job in explaining the play. Chip Carey got interference and obstuction mixed up but Steve Stone corrected him right away on it.
