Windy, I disagree. I think the majority agreed with you. The main point of contention from most of us was whether the calling umpire should ask for help, or the other umpires should offer unsolicited help if they see something.
I'm in the camp that the umpire who makes the call makes the call - if he decides he needs help, he asks for it and if a change is made HE should make it.
In both cases last night, this is what happened.
In others earlier in the playoffs, the wrong umpire (IMHO) made the correction... but that just shows that there are at least some MLB umps on the other side of the fence from me on that one.
But the majority are all for getting CORRECTABLE calls correct.
