Thanks.

Looks like Ump got blocked as to the ball/R bag sequence. My bet is he missed that and was relying on PU or others to help with the foot off base call.

What caused this mis-call was his positioning and not being able to react to the unexpected and adjust enough. Not that his positiong was wrong but, for this play it didn't help.

The touch of the base was a fraction of a second after the catch and that was on the replay. TOO close.

Bad throw , bad angle, bad call.

Here is a perfect example of eating the call and not asking for any help.

And isn't it hilarious that the fanboy posting the video refers to it as "the worst call ever"?

What about the commentator's "It wasn't even a close play" comment? It looked VERY close to me. What do I know, I'm an umpire.

Could he have been called out for running outside of the lane also? both of his feet stayed inside (fair side) of the foul line the whole way down.
Just my two cents.

I watched it a few times. It looks like he is not set when he makes the call. Still trying to find an angle. Thanks for posting!
