My point to him was, she had control of the thrown ball, with foot on the bag, before the runner got there. Bobbling a transfer had ZERO to do with the criteria needed for an out.
When you bring your partner in to ask for his input, have a precise question for him. Did she hold the bag? Did you see daylight between the runner and the sweep tag?
His precise question was a non-factor in whether the out was made.
I did tell him I had control at the time of the out (and he agreed), but he also wanted a controlled transfer. Not relevant.
Not a judgement at that point, but a rule interp.
Sorry if I just said the same thing 5 times...
