I wouldn't classify the replays I saw as conclusive either way, so doesn't the call on the field stand in that situation?

Compared to NFL or College Replays, we did not have to wait that long for a decision. The umpires came right out after looking at the replay and ruled an HR.
No argument from Manual etc. AROD hit a line shot and the umpires felt (and IMo rightly so) that if the camera was not there the ball would have cleared the fence.
All in all as mentioned there was not a HUGE delay in making the decision compared to some NFL / College replays.
