I'd call it a goof by U2 and/or U3. One of them should have been on this right away. It's U2's runner, but U3 should have covered him on it. Neither caught it. So yeah, they were wrong. Again, this wasn't such a great call, just a correct one, followed by a miscue. When the manager has to come on the field and point out a basic rule, then I'd stop calling it a "GREAT CALL!". I'm guessing if the runner were put back right away you wouldn't have crap thrown on the field. But they had to conference on this one, and that fanned the flames. Umpiring 101 guys, and they only got a 50%.
