Dale Scott calls a ball foul then fair

[REFANDUMP]

Sometimes I think we forget that we're not robots. It appears to me that Scott put his hands up while backing away from the catcher. I can see where the Padres players thought the play was killed, but on a close play like this, I'd assume the call would have been "sold" by the umpire. The only selling was when the ball was called fair. In my opinion, this was an unfortunate mistake the instinctual reaction of Mr. Scott.

Yes, and then he started to pull them down, and went back up with a distinct and sharp palms out dead ball mechanic. Regardless of what he verbalized, he clearly (to my eyes) signaled foul and then signaled fair. By not owning his mistake, he gave the Dodgers a cheap triple play, and one like it has never been earned before and won't be earned again (and wasn't earned this time, either).
