If Kinsler makes a decent throw on an ordinary ground ball, it never comes down to the umpire’s call.

Rangers flat out choked out there tonight.

It always comes down to the umpire's call. That ump had a clear view of the tag two steps off base. Instead, he was already looking at the bag long before they got there. All he could do is point at the bag, which was no where near the play, by MLB standards.

But, these guys are tenured like professors. Have you ever heard of a major league sports umpire being let go for making bad calls? They only leave by retiring, dieing or getting caught betting on games.
