Not implying it, nothing cute about it. There was a travel.
I guess if I was in your position, I would have just said I had a travel on the play (as for that, I'm not calling that and I honestly wouldn't expect that to be called either) instead of looking like I don't know what the hell I'm talking about with regard to a live vs dead ball.
Anyhow, here's another look at the play:
__________________ Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions.
Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
