I agree that TV doesn't always give the best view. However, there was a replay from high on the 3B side in the post-game that definitely looked foul and a replay on ESPN.com shows the ball on the line to the BB behind the back corner of the plate.

However, I was really trying to figure out where U3 was going that he needed to get back to make the call at 3B.

I wish we'd gotten better replays on this (at least better than the 2 I saw)... I'm pretty sure it was foul, but not sure the replays were good enough to "overturn" if replay existed.

And yeah, the NLCS TV crew is awful, and not just the talking heads. No replays where the viewer wants one. Endless replays on obvious calls. Bad angles in general, switching the view right at the moment of action, just bad TV. Add the talking heads and it's unbearable. (Tie goes to the runner... shoot me)
