Steve, I understand what your saying but anytime I see umpire change the call of another umpire (even rule interpretations) I feel it reduces the respect for the original umpire. At least let the guy be man enough to correct his own misunderstanding of the rule.
Everyone knows which umpire knew the rule but shouldn't the umpire who is responsible for making a particular call actually make the call or should the UIC always be the guy to overturn rule interpretations regardless of you actually made the original call?
