That is a terrible call.

Or is it?
I think it is not a good call. But it was really close. It is a very misunderstood rule. The base path is the base path set by the runner, not the line on the ground.

He went three feet out of the base path, but it only matters if you do it to avoid the tag.

My call there would be that he deviated from his bath path just before the tag attempt, set a new base path, and did not deviate from it during the tag attempt. But it is very close.

Three feet but were his head and upper torso more than three feet out?

Having to manage this team probably already brings with it a high base level of frustration.
Gets to go sit back and relax in the clubhouse now. Reminds me of story where Doc purposely got kicked out to watch the Masters.

As long as it's not a regular thing, going apeshit once in awhile might keep the team engaged, too. Small victories?

The entire infield doing a performance art tribute to the defensive wizardry of Kike Hernandez is sub-optimal.
