re: Seriously Great Game Florida....

I just don't understand what the 3rd base ump was looking at. I mean he is straddling the foul line about 20ft from where the play happened. How do you miss that?

I know I'll probably get slammed for this but I still don't agree with the replay call. I know that the ball was fair but I do not feel there was video evidence to support based solely on the fact of the angle of the camera.

I'll agree with this, although I was not going to wail about it if we lost (I figure it was a makeup to the other close call on the plate).

You see a lot of replays in football not changed, because the camera angle was not good.

Breaux's feet were fair, but he was running towards foul territory.
The ball was slicing hard foul (or towards it), you could see that on the other, first angle pretty definitely.

So, there were 3 angles on the ball; 2 videos that showed different possible outcomes and weren't exact, and then there was the ref straddling the line and watching, who made the "Foul" call.

If this was football, it would have been like calling a TD on replay, based on the camera angle from the 50 yd line instead of down at the goal line.
