You can't see home plate and second base from where he is standing, he is basically on first base.  If he was deeper towards right field maybe but from where he is at he can't.  You can see he is looking at home and would have no clue when the tag was made.  Same thing from third base, the only umpire that could possibly see both is home plate but he would have to move behind the plate and not in line with third where he is at.  I don't know what the umpires responsibilities are or where they are supposed to be positioned but can tell from the picture none of them would be able to see both at the same time making it hard to be accurate with the call.  You can barely see both in the camera and it is behind the fence giving it a much wider view than any of the umpires would have.  It would seem the only way to get it right would be for one umpire to watch for the tag and make a vocal signal the other umpire watching the plate could hear to know when the tag was made.

Umpire was in correct position for a play at the plate BUT not in position for what transpired and he knew it.... he asked for help, 2 0f 3 said runner scored first and he went with it.......2 of the 4 were definitely wrong, the only ump that was right was the one in the rundown.

I don't think paying attention was the problem.  That's what I am trying to say is I don't think anyone could possibly see both at the same time and they are left to do the best they can with what evidence they have.  Don't know the solution to be able to get that call made more accurately.  Maybe an umpire can let us know how it is supposed to be handled?

i could understand the crew missing this call if it is a closer call, but the guy is 13 or 14 feet (the dirt at home plate is 26 to 28 feet in diameter) from home plate when the tag was made, allowing time for the heads of the umpires to turn and see the guy is just arriving. 

 

In the video you see the plate ump turn to look infield as runner crosses and it is clear that the out had already occurred. Wasn’t even close that is what is bad.

You are so misinformed! As always! 

This play is not a hard play to umpire,seen it 100's of times called right on every level on plays far closer than this.Why make excuses for 3 umpires who clearly were wrong. You watch for the tag first then look for runner touching base. The 2 umps that said runner scored before tag clearly were guessing,because plate was 15 feet away minimum from runner at point of tag out.

      Sen. Tom Cotton was talking about all the tents set up at the Ivy League schools. Poor college stundents are so poor they scream to have the debt "forgiven" (transferred to us) but suddenly hundreds of brand new $500 tents show up. That Soros money does a lot.

      The Bible prophesied the destruction and restoration of Israel and the gathering back of God’s people. I don’t know about the purity of the twelve tribes, but God’s word is true regardless of how man interprets it. God says he will bless those the support Israel. Many consider Israel bullies because they don’t agree with the magnitude of their defense towards their attackers. The Old Testament is full of God’s support of the annihilation of their enemies.

      Here is the facebook post for y'all   I’m not going to put names or schools on this, but feel free to screen shot it to whoever you like. Yes yes, I’m a baseball guy. But I love football more than baseball. My son played all three sports in high school. So I’m not a baseball only guy. But if your high school football coach has your Varsity baseball son doing football drills in pads right now, that is wrong. At one certain school, the baseball team lost their starting third baseman (Gladiator kid) because he dislocated his elbow in a football drill. Two weeks before high school baseball playoffs, and now his season is done. Basically this coaches decision to make Varsity baseball players do football workouts on April 22nd, 5 months before Friday night lights, just sabotaged this kids season, and the teams season. And once again, I’m a huge football supporter, but this is wrong!! This is why kids stop playing football. Coaches preach they want kids playing all the sports, well how about respect baseball season, from Feb to May !  If the shoe was on the other foot, and a kid got injured playing baseball in October and he was a varsity football starter, what would that coach do? Be pissed off! And I would 100% agree with him! There is a reason I don’t have a fall baseball program with football guys. Because I respect football season. All I’m asking is football coaches to respect baseball season. Respect the High School baseball coaches that have worked their ass off to try to get their team in a playoff situation. Support them, don’t Sabotage them by taking their players out because of a “all important April 22nd” football workout. And I don’t want to hear this was bad luck, or any crap like that!!!A lot of these kids are Division One Baseball players, and just good high school football players. If you want to continue to have these kids play football, start doing the right thing. If not, I’m going to try to get those kids quit football and just focus on baseball. And let me say it again, I want all my Gladiator kids playing football!! I go support them watching their football games, and I love it!! But not at the cost of an injury in April playing football, not baseball . Bad miss……Do a better job! Be a better football coach, and remember, it’s not about you, but it’s about the kids who respect you and will do anything you ask them to do. Don’t punish them for being a good baseball or basketball player!!

      Only if you ignore the Constitution. I get the sentiment but I sometimes ponder when others may say, “We always support the Constitution”, “The Constitution has to be followed as the law of the land”, etc.  When in reality they mean, “I LOVE THE CONSTITUTION……. except the parts I don’t like”. There are certainly parts of the Constitution that I would change if I had the option.
