The same umpire that judged that is wasn't close called the other hit a HR.

So? Are you suggesting that a mistake in one case has any bearing on another case? Or maybe that he has poor judgment in every case? I would disagree with both claims.

Reynolds claimed in an interview that Ron Washington merely asked him "what did you have?"

When Reynolds told him, Washington retired from the field.

Not interference, despite what Cruz or the idiots in the booth say. Reynolds got a good look at it. There was no need to rely on video "to get the call right," because he got it quite right without it.
