On #1 he ended up getting it right. Yeah he missed the foul ball in the first place, but it's a tough call.

On #2 there are two things:

1) The U3 (Is that the proper term for the third base umpire?) was blocked by DeRosa's body when he fielded the ball. I assume the U3 has the fair/foul call past the bag (Which it was), but I don't know how he could see that.

2) I think the ball was fair. DeRosa's feet are right on the line in foul territory and by the time he touches the ball he's moving back toward fair territory. It was very close. I'm not sure because neither angle they show is very good, but I could see why he thought it was fair.
