The rule specifically deals with reversal of a call or a delayed call, not any act in general that confuses the players or places a team in jeopardy. For example, if an umpire rules a ball as fair, points properly, but verbalizes FAIR BALL and runners react as if he said FOUL BALL while the defense plays the ball as fair and gets easy outs... 10-3-C offers no help to the poor umpire (or to the offense). He did not delay the call, and he did not reverse the call. He just confused the offense. Too bad, so sad.

When those type of nightmare situations happen, as an umpire it's time to release the PF-10 and hope the coach lubes it first before he reems you with the whatnot.
