Screw the replay. There's no way the catcher could know that the call was wrong. The only reason the call was wrong was that the runner's foot was above the plate and not on the plate. F2 had absolutely no way of knowing this -- the reaction was completely over the top and had the runner's foot been on the ground F2's reaction would've been the same *and* wrong.
