A major league umpire calls over 200 pitches per game and well over 100 games per year. He knows when a pitch scrapes the ground before hitting the mitt, or is trapped instead of caught clean. With hundres of thousands of pitches worth of experience, he's seen, heard, and felt it all.
There's no doubt in my mind that Eddings knows he got it right. It turned out bad for the Angles, but it was their bad, not his.

As it applies to sports, the analogy is 100% true.
You're absolutely positvely sure he got it right, the next person is absolutely positively sure he got it wrong... blah blah blah.
There's one thing I'm sure about--and that's that we're all wrong. There's no way anyone knows what the call should have been. It's too close.
