If no, they screwed up.
If yes, they got it right.
Is it that hard?
Opps, that is two questions.

What happened has nothing to do whether they got it right or not.
It has to do with TIMING. There was a rule misapplication as evidenced by the crew chief instructing one of his umpires to check the rule book and according to the rules as written there is a certain amount of time that the injured party has to appeal the decision and it is not some 3 innings later.
Botton Line IMO this was a CYA in the first degree. As mentioned it would be very interesting to see what would have happen in a World Series game.
