Danley upheld an appeal and replays showed he looked at the "touch" from behind and guessed at a missed base. We shouldn't be guessing if someone missed -- we need to know (100%) someone missed or they touched.

I thought Brown said that he missed the base after the game. The replay showed the umpire looking directly at the base as Brown rounded it. It was far from a terrible call and there wasn't much of an argument from the Phillies. I thought the replay showed Brown missed the bag, but he might have just clipped it with his heel.
