I understand that we never want to guess somebody being out, but I think that calling her safe because "nobody saw it" would have led to more trouble then me calling what I saw.

I understand that you were put into a horrible position by an inattentive partner. But your "default call" on tag plays that you are unsure of, ESPECIALLY those out of your area should be SAFE. Yes, we've all made calls that we weren't 100% sure of ... but you have to be 100% sure of a tag play to call it an out.
