I agree. For a call to be overturned it has to be clearer than this. You can't say definitively one way or the other based on the replay. Let the call on the field stand.
That has to really annoy the umps when calls like this are overturned.

I really don't see how the play at home was overturned.
There was no view that showed his hand touch the plate before the tag. You had to assume it.
On one angle, you could see him slide in, and the tag hits him possibly on the tricep, but definitely on the rib cage.
The other angle shows the hand having to go around or push the catcher's foot.away. Even side by side, you couldn't make a determination either way. The call should have stood.
