For one, I am convinced that our mechanics will make or break us, as I believe the judgment was sound on this play. The way the judgement was delivered caused the problems we all have seen.

Good points, but sometimes especially in a "big game" situation, you just have to umpire.
The reaction of F2 on the plays tells you as PU that he made the tag. He would have known if he did NOT tag him and reacted accordingly. He also is seen looking at the PU for confirmation. The BR reacts the same way then runs to 1st thinking it was ball 4.
I'm sure that the other umpires had no clue as to whether a tag was made or not and probably were not even looking at that play.
Thanks
