Where am I being inconsistent here? I don't understand this comment.

And I would say that you would be in the overwhelmingly vast minority.

It's not what I and I assume others here think. It's the rule. If what you see is true, then Molina tagged Turner with an empty mitt. And I would bet that if the PU actually saw that, he wouldn't have ruled Turner out.
