Generally the "neighborhood play" is given when the shortstop is in a hurry to get the double play turned because of a speedy batter and a baserunner bearing down on him, so the umpire gives him the benefit of the doubt as he flies over the bag. In Aybar's case, though, he had plenty of time and just chose to plant his feet about six inches away from the bag, for no reason that I could tell other than that he simply couldn't be bothered to touch the base. There's no reason at all to give him the call.
