I don't see a difference...the crew chief will place the runners...more than likely a ground rule double...much like the lodged ball in the ivy rules...if the defense stops, the offense will circle the bases...it's easier to send runners back than try and place them using the so-called crystal ball of "what would've happened"
You bring up a good point though...it will be interesting to see...my guess is that it will rarely be used and we'll probably learn that the umps are right way more than they're wrong...remember espn only shows the close ones that they miss...there are hundreds of close plays that they get right each night which don't make the highlights...
