Compare the way in which the managers approached the umpire. Big difference. Maybe if Davey Johnson had come out with a little respect instead of immediately getting in to a shouting match with the umpire, he might have been able to get him to get some help from another ump.
Still doesn't change the fact that the call didn't cost the National the game. Jackson serving up a fastball to the Braves best fastball AND home run hitter did. McCatty coming out a batter too late did. Mattheus being left in to walk 2 batters and hit another did. The Nationals inability to hit the ball did.
