Gordon,
Since the two leagues merged and the control of the umpiring is now under the direction of MLB, I think this is way it's going to be. We (baseball umpires) have often criticized football officials for "huddling up" but times have changed and since MLB is signing the checks, the umpires are doing what is asked of them. It may not look good, but to MLB, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I think their (MLB's) philosophy is "get it right" even if it looks bad. Like everything else, there are + & - depending how and when it's used.
