Marc:

I don't fault Josh Paul for not attempting to tag the runner or throw to first. In his mind he caught the ball cleanly and the umpire never gave any indication that the situation was otherwise. Unless there was some question in his own mind that he caught the ball cleanly or the ump thought he didn't, why raise the spectre of doubt by acting like he didn't?

Tbob:

You talked about the players "styling," but how about the umpires? Sometimes I think they are so concerned about how they look making the call, they ignore getting the call right in the first place.
