Blown swipe tag

[soundedlikeastrike]

While were on the (LDS) ;') umpires.

The swipe tag at first base in what? Game 2.

That was just weird looking.

IMO, U1 seemed to be trying to, still be looking for the ball.
Looked like he was still looking up where the ball was caught?

Never even looked down around the tag area until it was way to late.

My theory: he missed that for same reason the ball was missed by F6,
"lost it in the lights". I thought he had good position to see it, just to late looking there.

And I was surpirsed he didn't go for help, or rather, that nobody asked him too. Pretty sure U2 saw it?

They showed a replay from the angle the umpire had, and he was clearly screened from seeing the tag. He was trying to see the tag, but the runner's body was blocking his view. He should have asked for help. I'm pretty sure the 2nd or 3rd base umpire had a better view. The PU might not have seen the tag either, as his view was obstructed by F3 slightly.
