"I think the umpire asked for help and the call stood. So it sounds pretty clear to me that the umpire did not see anything to change the call. Oh well, what do I know."

Apparantly you didn't see the play or pay close enough attention to the play. What evidence do you have that help was solicited, I never saw U2 talk to any other Umpire. You keep saying that U1 is not in position to see the missed tag. I say he was 60-70 feet away and a direct angle to see the daylight, a much better angle than U2 who was "straight lined" and had no opportunity to see the tag/no tag. And he is rated as the BEST in the majors so I don't think he was watching first base waiting for a throw to come from behind him.
The whole point is that these guys rarely ask for help from one of their team mates. Instead U2 is caught asking the SHORTSTOP if he made the tag. That should be embarrasing.
