Even if as an umpire, you do not get the angle and you miss the call, but nobody lodges a complaint about it, then yes you are going to leave it alone.

However, I think both Jim Joyce and Randy Marsh absolutely did the 100% correct thing after Terry F(Boston's Manager) lodged his complaints on the two original calls. Both of them (Joyce and Marsh) put their ego's aside and went to their other crew members to get call the right no matter what Yankee fans and players would think of them.

In today's world whether umpiring at the MLB all the way down the high school level, umpires are taking a more proactive approach at getting calls right even if it means changing the original call.

Players play too hard and coaches coach too hard to not deserve this type of umpiring by all of us as umpires.

GREAT JOB ALCS UMPIRING CREW!!!!
