no...they show YOU had no clue what was going on during the play. The umpires did. Some of the questions they were asked were stupid...they were just trying to get them to say something that they could use against them. The umpires had to choose their words VERY carefully.
And again...you all are looking into the mechanics WAY TOO MUCH. Players don't look at an umpire's mechanics...they are for the fans. I'm sorry if the fans are confused by Eddings mechanics, but the players weren't. If they say that they were, they are flat out lying. The catcher can't see the umpire...and he's not waiting to hear the umpire say "no catch." Eddings probably doesn't say, "no catch" in that situation anyway. He probably just lets the play go, as many umpires do.
