being on the inside gives you a great look, in my opinion, on the steal play at 2nd base. if you were behind the play, such as the positioning a little league umpire would get on a small diamond -- you have a runner sliding in, ball comes in on the other side of the runner (that you cant see), tag goes down...wheres the tag? wheres the ball? being in the inside of the diamond, you see the ball into the glove, see the glove go down, and you are on the side of the tag to see it.

i dont have trouble picking up the ball on a steal play. pretend the ball has a fish hook on it and you watch it and let it hook you into the play. it brings you right into whats going on and you see the tag right there.

it is possible that he just missed the call. it happens.
