I too had the sound muted, and then turned it up during the "conference." Joe Buck was declaring that Welke had gotten it right the first time, that it was not a home run, and that he hoped the ruling would stand. When it did, he simply said that they got it right.

I suspect that the meeting went something like this:
Tim Welke: "All right, here's what I saw. The fly ball hit the fielder's glove, then the top of the wall, and bounced into the field of play."
Jim Joyce: "And what's your ruling?"
TW: "Live ball, play on, of course. Anybody see anything different, or want to dispute the ruling?"
[silence]
TW: "OK, well, let's stand here for another 3 minutes to convince everyone that we've taken this matter seriously."

After a few minutes, Joe Buck said that LaRussa was told by team personnel that the replay showed that Welke got the call right, so he dropped the issue.

Whenever I saw the play live, I thought it was a home run (see disclaimer ). But after the replays, no question, Tim Welke got it right. Kudos to Tim for getting the call right orginally and then sticking to his guns whenever they got together.

When I saw the play live, I too thought it was a home run. It wasn't until the replay that I realized that Welke nailed it. Great call.
