It was impossible to know where the ball was when Bregman rounded third, but on the replay, he never broke stride as his eyes looked to be following the ball all the way.A heads up play on his part. Re the ump not calling anything, Rantz...for what that's worth, said that umps are taught to keep their hands down to their sides anytime a play is live; as well, Rantz said under that circumstance,only the home plate ump could call time for that specific reason,i.e. dead ball out of play. The ump's hands never moved. But what made that play even sweeter is the HC is a former Greenie. His first collegiate game as a HC and he pulls a bonehead play like that. FWIW: according to the Advocate, the catcher was getting rid of the ball because it was wet.

Correct, because he assumed the catcher had the ball or was still near the screen. He never saw the ball roll to the coach.

After the discussion he put his hands in the air, to signal the ruling was a dead ball, and pointed to third, to award it to Hale.
