Missed call, Yes.
Inexcusable and beyond unacceptable? You set the bar way too high (or is it too low?) on what's an acceptable miss. This call is nowhere near what I would consider inexcusable and beyond unacceptable (e.g., Jim Joyce v. Armando Galarraga, or Tim Welke v. Jerry Hairston). If you think you could clearly see a ball rebound off a railing just above the orange line from almost 200 feet away, more power to ya.
