Astros-Mets

[YoungRighty]

Play at 2nd, Astros runner (Ensberg) is safe. He goes in standing up, loses his balance, and falls on top of F4 who is sitting toward the left field side of the bag (with the ball). The runner clearly comes off the base, and F4 clearly tags him while he is lying on top of him. Larry Young is U2 and is on the right field side of the bag, and no doubt could not see the tag. He calls him safe, leading to an Art Howe ejection.

Shouldn't he (Young) have at least asked U3 (Angel Hernandez) for help...he (Hernandez) would have had a clear view from his position. Maybe he wasn't looking, but why not ask? Wouldn't this be a case where "get it right" should prevail?
