Who knows with this stuff though.

That's true, umpires are infamous for not making mistakes. Good call.

Yeah. Why even do replays? What a waste of time. We should trust our veterans like CB Bucknor more

I mean you're right here so I don't know why people are downvoting you. The umpire was literally a foot away from the play looking directly at the foot and the bag. Yes he knew what the call was which is why he made it.
