The fact that they needed to huddle on that play at all was absurd. It was a popout. The guy caught it. The ump was 5 feet away and immediately signaled that he caught it. He they threw to first for the double play. That was it.

Absurd, yes. But less absurd that the umpire that was chasing butterflies making the wrong call on his own.
