The PU ruled foul ball. The umps met after the OC argued (ball was hit too slow for the fast runner to be put out) and ruled fair ball and awarded the BR 1B. Since that call was the PUs, someone had to overrule his foul ball call....

Im of the mindset that the umps job at the end of the day is to get the call right. Lets say in a 2 man crew, the BU calls a runner out when they were clearly clearly safe, then by all means the PU should step in and make the correct call. who cares if its not "his call" or hes not supposed to do that, I care about getting the calls right, not about the possibility of embarrassing or hurting the other umps feelings.

You clearly have no clue.
