Maybe we need a new rule with all of the plays being overturned in MLB, call it "umpire obstruction" or something ...

The defense had a legit chance at a DP even if the runner had not slowed down. Does that factor in?
I guess my bigger question is how do you not replay the play since the umpire called a dead ball before anyone was thrown out?
