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.

And that's why I was referencing this specific rule, as it pertains to a reversed call. I don't know how much clearer I can be on this subject. If the act of reversing a call places the runners in jeopardy, then the PU is empowered to "make it right" and correct the situation. The confusion I mentioned earlier is simply an indicator that the reversal of a call has done exactly that - place runners in jeopardy.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
