Well not all umpires are watching this play in the first place. And again how many times in your career have to seen two players at the base at the same time try to catch the same ball? I have never seen anything like this play and why I can understand. And it was so unusual that even the opposing umpire had no clue about who caught the ball but apparently was arguing if the foot was off the bag. And the PU might not have had an angle on who caught the ball considering where the pitcher was standing that actually caught the ball. Not saying it is acceptable, just saying I understand why it was missed. It think they could have taken a second to see who caught the ball.

I know exactly what you meant, but I got a good laugh out of this! LOL :D

Brewers vs Orioles - Deja Vous? Not so much!
 

O's Chris Davis hits a weak ground ball toward first, Smoak (1B) moves for the ball, Harang (P) and Franklin (2B) converge to cover first, and Smoak flips the ball toward both players covering the bag......this time, the 1B ump (Larry Vanover) pauses just a sec to make sure the guy ON the bag has the ball. Harang shows it to him. OUT!

I had a flashback for a sec. :p

I'm guessing Vanover and all the others got the memo after the May 24 game. :D
