To be fair about that call, the umpire was right there. I agree it looked like the ball hit the line, but there was not an angle that was conclusive. I have an HDTV, but there was not an angle that showed for sure. It is very possible it missed the line by millimeters, but he was in a better position to call this than anyone watching the TV was.

Peace
