My question is why the 2nd Base Umpire was running toward that play instead of in position? Am I ignorant of some other responsibility?

PS Go Tigers.

I was wondering that as well. My thinking is that he was in C?

But he should have been still. But I think the announcers need to realize they did have a better angle on it than the umpire.

But I haven't gone over it on replay yet.

(I just watched it over and over again on replay. IMHO, the umpire was too close and his head was moving.

But my favorite moment was when one of the reporters asked Girardi as he was whining about the "need" for IR, "But, Joe, you guys didn't score any runs!")
