If you have the at bat app. Go to the play in the 8th. They show 4 angles. In the last one it makes it even more obvious he's out. His arm is jammed backwards by hanigans leg. There's no way he's safe.

But even with that out the reds still lose.

Howard's left arm is bent at the elbow and it appears his hand is on the plate.
what's amazing is that Howard didn't break all 4 fingers on that slide.
I know you weren't trying to argue. That line was meant for me. I keep harping on a play that...even if it had gone the Reds' way...they still lost by one.

I agree that he's out but it was in no way shape a blown obvious call. In full speed it was a blur....MLB Ap shows the umpire barely being set and honestly never shows anything.
Here are pics from
