  Thaaat was f'n horrible. If the Reds don't win the Division, I sure as hell hope the Pirates don't lose it by 1.

  From the angle ESPN showed, it did kind of look like the swipe tag missed, possibly. I'm not saying he didn't apply the tag, but I can see someone like Meals missing it.

  No, because Id assume both Braves (Freeman and Kimbrel) are ahead of him.

  Wow. He was meat.
  
  Five feet away from the plate.
  
  19 innings you have to be sure to make that call. That was more like an umpire wanting the game to end.
  
  They'll issue an apology but big freaking deal.

  I still havent seen an angle where Jerry Meals is excused from a horrendous call. This one alone, which most closely mirrors what he was looking at is SO obvious it is sickening.

  Yeah its pretty painfully obvious that he made that call because he wanted to go home

  Jerry Meals will be the third base umpire on Wednesday, right in front of the Pirates' bench. Less than ideal placement,given the situation

  Plate umpire Jerry Meals became the focus of the conclusion of the 4-3, 19-inning win the Braves claimed over the Pirates at Turner Field Tuesday night. The game ended when he surprisingly called Julio Lugo safe after it appeared Pirates catcher Michael McKenry tagged him before he crossed the plate.
  Meals provided an explanation of what he saw on the play, which began with Scott Proctor hitting a grounder to Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez whose throw to the plate easily beat Lugo.
  Meals’ explanation:
  “I saw the tag, but he looked like he oléd him and I called him safe for that. I looked at the replays and it appeared he might have got him on the shin area. I’m guessing he might have got him, but when I was out there when it happened I didn’t see a tag.
  “I just saw the glove sweep up. I didn’t see the glove hit his leg.”
