He wasn't that far out of the "base line", I think the umpire figured it was an easy enough tag to make so that it wasn't really an issue. The base line from 3rd to home is always a grey area, some of the runners rounding 3rd gotta watch out they don't fall into the dugout they take such wide turns, I think he did pretty well to be that close to the straight line from 3rd to home...
Wieters' fault imo for flopping around like a baby harp seal rather than just blocking the plate for an easy out. Don't care about either team, but that's how I saw it anyway.
