It’s not about the takeout play
It’s what MLB in NY right after that is the issue.
They reversed the out call and put Utley back on second with one out.
What is confusing to me is Utley never tagged the base and he was called safe. Just getting close counts? Then getting close should count at home base too. OIC now, his intention was to tag the base, that’s it. Maybe it is rated on whom was closer to the base during the play is awarded the call!! Kinda like Obama’s world, his intentions are what counted and not the results.
