I must be blind then. I watched the same replays. I couldn't tell if he was up against the bag, or just next to it. Very close up next to it, for sure. It is obvious to me that he couldn't tell if he had touched it, felt it, or he wouldn't have tried to retouch it! He missed the bag. He should have clearly stepped on the edge, then there would have been no question. Duke beat the runner there, and needed to complete the play. It is similar to the replays of whether there is space between the tip of the toe and the three point line in basketball. Duke needs to step on the base, not try to nuzzle up next to it! For this game to come down to the failures of Lynn, Rodney, and Duke is all on them, and the manager that put them in, or left them in, the game at the time(s) he did, when he had better options.
