I was going to post this one - you beat me to it!

Why doesn't he adjust 3BLE? He just stays POP. In the other one you posted where Bellino rotates in from first, he gets 3BLE but then looks like he moves too far up (even beyond 1BL). These plays develop so quickly at this level. Instead of pause, read, react - it's more like pausereadreact!

Give him credit he got the call right even though his positioning wasn't the best.

Anyone see a reason why he didn't move 3BLE?

[Umpire in Chief]

Last Night on MLB Tonight Mitch Williams last night gave Nauert credit for the good call, but added he thought the position was bad...

I was at the game last night and called him out from up in the third base seats. Won a beer from some lady b/c all the homers thought he was safe. +1 for me

Meh-Close play...anyway what's with the finger wag? I'm pretty sure he won't be teaching that one this fall to the up an comers!

Do as I say not as I do. Heard that from parents teachers many times. Same principle here.

i think he was safe

Trust me he wasn't. They slowed it down tremendously on YES and he was out. That replay isn't in this video.
