Hey Gil,
I believe Greg Gibson made the first call. Miller had gone out on the play.
Crazy Mechanical play in 4 man. Gibson does the best he can having to split the difference between possible calls at 2nd and 3rd.... really hard spot despite video evidence the call was a miss. Really wish Vic would just stand by his call there.... Someone has to show some moxie and stand up for themselves, especially on a clear call like that. I wonder how much the umpires want to go to replay on calls they know are correct. It helps the replay stats in the umpires favor and that may help them at the negotiating table this offseason.
Greg Gibson's call needed to be overturned. That is a very difficult call and he honestly did not look sure of himself when he made the call but I thought it was fairly obvious the throw got there before the runner. The Twins announcers were actually a lot more surprised than the A's over the call standing.
