  • U2, knowing he WAS screened, does just that
  • The umpires meet and determine that the runner was indeed out
  • The correct call is then made

If this is what happened, why is this not what should have happened? (I mean other than U2 not getting screened in the first place). Isn't this when an umpire conference is appropriate?
Bingo, we have a winner !!!
