In the dirt or not?

I believe the PU allowed the batter's reaction (by running to 1st base) to incorrectly influence his decision.

from ESPN.com: "I should have either said, 'No catch,' or, if I did have a catch, that he was out. Which I never said: 'He's out,' " Eddings said.

he knows he should have said "no catch."

If he had a chance to do it again, I'm sure the PU would react differently.

from ESPN.com: "Given another chance, umpire Doug Eddings said he would've been more emphatic in making the call that helped the Chicago White Sox win Game 2 of the American League Championship Series."
