I'm simply saying that I could see him missing the tag, because it was a swipe tag that barely got him. He shouldn't have missed it, but I've seen far worse calls than this one. I'm also saying it was a bad call, but it's not nearly as obvious as people are making it out to be.
Where he was tagged, when he was tagged, the inning he was tagged, the standings of the team doing the tagging and the team being tagged are irrelevant. By your definition, every missed call in a close crucial game is an absolutely awful call.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
