Anyone see the mess last night in the Blue Jays-Cardinals game. Blue Jay OF traps a fly ball and the 3B umpire calls the out, R1 and R2 are out for not returning to tag up. Triple play. After deliberations between the umps, call is reversed, no outs and bases loaded.

Blue Jay manager Carlos Tosca argues and is tossed. Game is protested by the Jays. Cardinals win 11-0 (I think)

I'm not sure what to think? In the end, the right call is made. Normally, I would say in a situation like that, live with the call, even if it's wrong. However, this was a triple play, a heavy penalty on the Cards if they do not reverse it.

BTW, it was the HPU (Wally Bell) who went to the 3BU with the information (no catch).
