When discussing this play and saying that the umpires got it "wrong", it needs to be made clear WHICH aspect of it they got wrong.
There are some in this thread who think batter's interference was the "wrong" call. In other words, after viewing the play, they don't think that there was any interference. Fair enough.
Then there are those (like myself) who think batter's interference was the correct call, but the application of the penalty was wrong. And it appears that MLB has admitted as much.
