I could see the Ump missing that one, but the play at the plate, Snider was tagged on the thigh, maybe even hip area after sliding through the block at home plate.
I really think tafter this year, there will be a major review of umpiring.

Not so sure. The one thing that every sport is resistant to is admitting that its officials are either corrupt or incompetent. Whether that is NHL, MLB, NFL, football, cricket or rugby.
Take the World Cup for example, one of the worst referees in the world gets given the final and basically fucks it up. What happens? FIFA defend him.
If Bud Selig can't deal with doping, or Stern can't deal with corruption, or Bettman with bankrupt teams in the USA, what hope is there of them dealing with officials blowing calls and acting like dicks?
If nothing else MLB officials needs to go on a fucking diet. Fat fucks.
