The lack of response by Sam Holbrook makes the play confusing. From the clip he doesn't signal anything. He must have appealed the swing and then called him out.

Yes - that's exactly what happened... you can see the beginning of him pointing to his partner in a couple of the angles.

Thanks. I knew he must have done that but I wasn't paying too close of attention obviously

The umpires AND the announcers got this right. Go figure.

Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow are first rate announcers. They know baseball and they're not overtly "fanboys" - they tell the listener what is going on and why.

Some of the local announcers in other markets wouldn't know the Official Baseball Rules if it hit them upside the head.
