What umpire decision was reversed? Calling TIME is not a decision in this context. The case book gives these examples of a reversed decision:
10.2.3-D inadvertent OUT call results in player tagged out.
-F, -G, -H "Ball 4" call reversed with checked swing appeal.
In the OP's case, there is no call that was reversed. Only an untimely TIME.
Besides, I would even argue that the defense was NOT put in jeopardy here. Apparently, the defense had no intention of attempting to put the BR (not batter) out.

So are you leaning toward the inadvertent time BR safe at first call or the abandonment argument? Or just something I missed?
