Re: Did He Touch Home?
no call by the umpire AND you just never know if he was given credit for touching it or not.
FWIW - Joe Simpson was going on about the slowness of the ump's call and that he didn't understand why.
I think the ump was waiting to see if Barrett had hung onto the ball. Ump believed the tag was applied before he touched home and may have ruled him out until he saw the ball rolling away.
On the slide itself: probably didn't touch the plate. But it's not impossible he barely got part of it. I don't think he did though.
