"I would rather see the official take the heat for making the right call than for making a wrong call" -

That's the best statement I've seen on this board in a year.
I'm glad it was supported by LOTS of "but be careful" - for every call that someone decides to change, even if it's changed to the right call, I flash back to that Cub's game where one of the base umpires overruled BOTH the plate guy and the third base guy and called it a homerun - which was the WRONG call. How does one justify that, and what happens to respect of the whole crew?
