I'm at a bar so no sound. They kept replaying it, what were the commentators saying?

Yep. Molina didn't "technically" tag him. Missed call.

I was halfway paying attention.

Did Ellis touch the plate?

I give the Cards the out (just as the ump did} just for Molina taking the hit and holding on to the ball. "He's outta there!!!". Good call IMO.

The ball beat the runner and there was a collision with the catcher. That was enough for THIS Umpire !!

That's baseball, the guys with the reputation get the close calls.

I imagine it had nothing to do with reputation but rather everything to do with the throw beating Ellis by several steps and Molina having the plate and baseline blocked.

It's a lot like second basemen coming off the base a tad early to get the quick turn since they didn't time their approach good enough. Almost 99% of the time umpire's give them the call.

I am biased being a Cardinals fan, but I think (as I've umpired in the past)if I am the umpire in that the same scenario calling for another team, I'd give them the call.

Even Ellis said he was out because I believe he knows how baseball goes. He didn't plan to hurt Yadi, and Yadi was protecting himself.

Could be true, 2011. Doesn't mean I'm not wholly wrong.

As long as the ump thinks Molina tagged him, who bloody cares.

Wut? That's retarded. If he got it wrong he got it wrong regardless of what he thought.

And if we wanna get technical, Molina was safe at second on that play. But, I won't, nor would he beg for it!

That's an out every day forever. Anybody who has a problem with that being an out should just find a different sport to follow. Furthermore, I saw the replay about 10 times, and I'm not even sure he missed the tag. Hard to say whether a piece of leather may have touched a piece of runner or not.
