I agree that he probably would have gotten to 2B. However, I thought it could only be changed if the call had no affect on how the play developed. It clearly did here b/c Crisp stopped running and the defense stopped play on the ball.

Also, I guess there is no "get your own calls" anymore. I am really beginning to dislike some of the precedences being set by MLB. I understand he was moving out of the way. But, he was about 2 feet from the ball. HP was about 110 feet away. Whose call is it?

It should have been left as a foul ball. The batter didn't even think about arguing the call. He was getting ready to hit again. I guess there weren't any EJ on the other side.
