I agree that Josh Paul probably should have tagged him if he was uncertain whether it was in the dirt or not. However, he was so sure he caught the ball that he didn't even think twice about it. That type of play is so instinctive that we would have seen hesitation on his part if he was at all unsure of whether he had caught the ball cleanly or not. Even AJ Pr? first move was towards the dugout. It was the fact that the umpire was undecisive that made him attempt running to first. Had the umpire called him out right away (besides the gestures) AJ would have keep walking back to the dugout...and we'd be in the 18th inning right about now.
