confusion at 2b-

[dumbdumb]

watch the video first with no sound.

start at beginning (runners were on 1st and 2nd to start) and go to :12 second mark and stop.

Lance Barksdale has runner on 2nd and 1st out for a double play (pumps out call on both runners with fist).

What say ye??

then read article below about the play above that took 3+ minutes replay and review to figure out

In my opinion, that's a tired umpire being caught in a situation that you rarely see.and he missed it. If that happened in April or May he gets it no problem.

I know I'd have a hard time processing all of that in real time; good to see that even an MLB guy can too.

Could not be caught with ordinary effort.

Looks like a brain fart. Nice to have replay.

Because the conditions were not met -- (runners -- yes; batted ball -- no)

It took me half-asleep as I am right now to watch the replay before I even figured out what was going on. =\ lol

Should have tagged the guy on his way back from third first.
