This is not a 'minor' infraction:

(Watch until the end: He moves the ball almost a full rotation with his finger)

And yes, I hear the outrage machine warming up. I'm not fond of viewers calling in, but that's pretty blatant there.

In the article I read, he agreed that he could see the ball roll forward 3 dimples and then back a dimple and a half.

LOL

Yeah, I saw that too. Villegas was DQed two weeks ago and said something along the lines of 'If they say they saw me do something wrong, I probably did'.

WTF?

The ONLY thing I'll say is this: In this day and age, maybe they should adopt a policy of not investigating potential rules infractions that aren't reported before the card is turned in.

That way, some jackass obsessively replaying every ball spot on a 75 inch screen can't call in after the event.

What? That wasn't even close to a full rotation. It looks to me like it rolled a little forward and then back.

When you see it at normal speed, it doesn't really look that bad.
