Gotta love it - umpire run around like idiots with the arm up in the air to signal the most obvious of catches that simply do not need to be officiated at all.

Here, the umpires need to step up and make that call and they stand there and do nothing. Even with the SS charging in, the BU should have had an angle on the ball, certainly better than the straight-lined plate umpire. NYSSO would say that the base umpire should come up with a big "THAT'S A CATCH."

It is absolutely delusional to think that both runners were on base at the time the ball hit the pitcher's glove. They obviously didn't get back to the base and there is no way in hell that they are staying on the base after the pitch and after a hit. Ludicrous.
