As far as the umpire positioning, it was a single umpire game and I was playing. The only thing I can think of is that he figured since the ball was being cut and it was off line there would be no play at the plate so was trying to get in line for a play on the infield and just didn't move quick enough.

Question I guess is would calling the runner out be the right call and from what was posted previously I would have to say yes and too bad for the runner.
Sorry, my misunderstanding.

Listening to the players can be helpful, but I never base my actions on something I hear because I don't trust them to make the play
