Bob -
Just trying to point out that a situation like this should be discussed. I'm not saying anyone is not handling this correctly, just sharing how I would try to handle it.
I quoted the rule to show that it was allowed under the rules for an umpire to meet immediately after the play and reverse the call if necessary.
I'm not really a rules zealot as you claim, but someone who does my very best to try to make the right call, even if it needs to be discussed and reversed. Of course I've made many, many mistakes, and I have not always handled them correctly, but I try to improve everyday.
The original post is entitled "What would you do?", so I'm sharing what I would do!
