Dash, I did think about this as I talked to the umpires. BTW, thanks for your thought.

Don't know what happened to the ball, and to my way of thinking, it does not matter. F2 heard a vocal out call, and responded by going to the dugout and not throwing the batter out at 1B. How can you throw the batter out at 1B if he's been called out?

Like I said, I would eat the call. The PU in this game wanted to get it right, and he admitted he missed it after meeting with his partner and getting more information.
