Brad Ausmus Tag Quotations

In my mind, if I think it's close I'm going to tag him or throw the ball to first, or turn around and look at the umpire, show him the ball and get a definitive out call.

Generally, if there's any question, I would either tag the guy or throw the ball to first or turn around and look at the umpire and show him the ball and get a definitive out call, ... I see both sides of the issue. I think in Josh Paul's mind, there was no question, and the replay seems to show he caught the ball. I understand why he assumed the batter was out, but by the same token he did reach down toward the ground.
