MeatsDad,
I would respectfully disagree with your analysis of the play at the plate and I am an impartial observer in this case (although I probably lean more to the Cowboys than the Indians - see "Uncle Ethan") From my vantage point, the catcher's foot was on the plate, he had the plate blocked and the Coppell runner was out on both the force and the tag. I think the umpire got caught up in the moment, was reminded of the situation by his fellow crew memeber and rightly reversed the call.

His strike zone was horrible, but the Coppell faithful screaming at him after every pitch from right behind the screen probably didn't help his attitude.

Congrats to the Cowboys. JK had a scary moment at the end. Glad to see both he and Boone get up and finish the game.
