Don't forget, this was a safety squeeze play which usually results in the a play @ 1st base on the B/R - now on R3 at the plate. The play happens faster than you think and if he had more time...like on a throw from the outfield, he probably would have set up 3BLX. I the whole play surprised him and he did the best he could focusing most on the missed tag and missed that the runner's finger tip skimmed the very corner of the plate. Not defending Foster here, just explaining how the call may have happened from his viewpoint. I've been there before so I have some sympathy for him on this :(Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-89486472045990447242013-05-08T07:01:47.569-07:002013-05-08T07:01:47.569-07:00Good one!Good one!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-79394078992882761582013-05-08T05:53:27.482-07:002013-05-08T05:53:27.482-07:00it's not the 'Rays" 3/4th ejection of...it's not the 'Rays" 3/4th ejection of 2013- EE is a BJ.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-79676751429970026582013-05-08T03:23:52.610-07:002013-05-08T03:23:52.610-07:00Foster....Australian for beer, American for poor u...Foster....Australian for beer, American for poor umpire,Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-28356293471021802392013-05-08T00:52:02.498-07:002013-05-08T00:52:02.498-07:00This ruling has been challenged and is under furth...This ruling has been challenged and is under further review by the UEFL Appeals Board.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-18465191057037104392013-05-07T22:44:54.650-07:002013-05-07T22:44:54.650-07:00Foster is in bad position here.

I just said that, based on the situation, he knew what was coming and had time to get the look he wanted. It wasn't the product of bizarre rotation or awkward timing. It was a flat-out miss. I'm not even saying it was an "easy" call, but I am saying that he had a chance to do everything possible to give himself the best chance of getting it right, and he got it wrong. It's not outlandish; it's just a missed call, but it's missed entirely because of the umpire's mistake and not because of unfortunate circumstances (such as rotation or mis-communication error).Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-5576091809317890532013-05-07T21:51:36.680-07:002013-05-07T21:51:36.680-07:00We've handled them before and we will handle t...We've handled them before and we will handle them again.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-32611406913583578772013-05-07T21:47:05.471-07:002013-05-07T21:47:05.471-07:00He touched the plate.He touched the plate.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-63100619005616175392013-05-07T21:43:09.993-07:002013-05-07T21:43:09.993-07:00Wow Ump N Doc.... you think this was a basic call?...Wow Ump N Doc.... you think this was a basic call?
