Phillies/Marlins play at the plate, 5/23 game
If anyone has a link to the video of the slide under the tag, please post it. I saw it on sportscenter this morning, but can't find it online.
What a great call. A very gutsy call given it was in a MLB game, but the correct call. Every youth coach should see it.

Great job by the play-by-play man...
"The throw to the plate. (Umpire signaling 'safe'.) Out at home plate. (Umpire still signaling safe.) Out at home plate." "He said he was safe." "He called him safe? Are you kidding me?!"

Nobody likes to see it called because most people only focus on the tag and not where the runner's foot is. I have similar calls every second or third game. When I see it, I point and say right away, "under the tag, under the tag". Sometimes I'll say "high tag" if the fielder has a chance to place the proper tag but does so very high that the runner is easily there.

Not a baseball guy, but years ago in Referee mag, the editors responded to a coach's letter by supporting the idea of "ball beating the runner, call him out." This play seems to suggest that at the very least, this umpire doesn't go by that. Does anyone go by that, or is that philosophy a thing of the past?
