The pop up was in the infield. Couldn't be changed in FED no matter what. Couldn't be changed in NCAA I think by rule. Couldn't be replay reviewed in OBR. Did not meet the only MLB criteria I know of (no one reacted to the foul call). But it was the perfect circumstance where 8.02(c)/9.02(c) could be used to change the call and nobody argued. Yost accepted the explanation that I assume was made. PU was blocked and had a bad angle. He knew he had a bad angle and confered. U3 with a good angle gave his opinion and the crew decided this was an instance where they could change the call as Moreland was already on 1B when the ball fell in the infield.
