Guys, it was a clear equipment malfunction!

The way these guys were speaking, it's as if they've never seen a game of baseball, much less MLB, in their lives.

They were obviously both correctly dumped.

My question is why did the Home Plate Umpire say pulled foot if he was not certain.

No clue. He was wrong, though.

Where did he say he wasn't certain?

If he was not certain, he should have given no opinion.

This is where "get it right" gets it wrong. It was so close and I think the original call was correct. Oh well, welcome to MLB.

Peace

No, he guessed wrong. There is no way he clearly saw the foot off the bag before the ball was in the glove...because it did not happen.

Unless I clearly see that my partner is wrong, there is no way I am going to be a party to him changing his call.

In this case, there is no way that he clearly saw that he was wrong because he was not wrong.

This is incorrect. You can be certain of what you saw and still have seen it incorrectly. There's no law of the universe that says we always see things the way the actually happen.

And at any rate, I think he was safe.

So now he guessed? Where do you get all of this information from?
