When was the time that every call should be up for debate or opinions from partners? How do we even know that any other umpire could have given any kind of help on this call? This play was a goofy play. How many times do you see a fielder *** over tea kettle to try to make a tag? This was a tough play to call and the umpire did the best job he could. Depending on where the other umpires were on the play (I did not see the play live) it is possible they did not have a good angle to help. I just think we take this "get it right" mentality too far. You cannot get help on every call. Also remember TV has the opportunity to make calls at slow motion and different angles. This umpire had one angle and one chance at this call.

Peace
