I rest my case.

I was commenting on the correctness of the ruling in general. I read reports of the play stating that the call was correct. Based on how the play was described, I supported the ruling. After viewing the play, I can still see how Meals ruled the way he did. The video shows Upton make a move toward second base, and he wasn't just turning around to come back. Then he tried to play it off like he meant to return to first all along. It was a judgment call, and those who don't agree are free to do so, but it doesn't make his call wrong.
