    Challenge: Bonifacio's hand appears to make contact with the base a split second before the glove comes down.

    I'm confused. It looks to me like the replay clearly shows him to be safe. Don't blame blue for missing this one. Only in slow motion can you tell that he's safe, but isn't this clearly an incorrect call?

    The angle in the video is not the same angle as the umpire. I have him out also.
