Here we go:

1. Yes, the rules are unwritten, but: Own your own call. PU made the call, stick with it. If you are wrong, life's is tough when your mistake is shown on ESPN, I'll trade with him any day.
2. Once a play it happens it is over, you can't go back and change it later.
3. Appeals can be made on some rule violations until the next pitch or play not at the end of a half ining, and not three innings later.
4. Judgement calls are not appealable (normally), and rule mistakes have to be appealed when the happen, not later.

Garth, I see your point, I believe. I think you are saying that the crew used 9.01c to change the score when they decided the PU made an error, whether it was a judgement call or rule that he blew in making the incorrect call. And the time doesn't matter, they can change things any time they want to

My view is that if he made a bad judgement call, the PU has to live with it, you can't go back and change the whole game situation three innings after the call was made. You are opening up Pandora's Box for questioning calls.
If the PU blew a rule the offense has to come out then and appeal or protest the game when the call was blown.

In my view of the rules, the umpire does not have the ability under the rules to hit a reset button and and play god to cover up a mistake. You have to eat the call in this case.

The MLB suits don't agree, their mistake.
