Also, the fact that they got together and stuck with Welke's call, no matter how long it took, shows that a human umpire is able to get the tough ones correct once in a while.

My point is simply that had there been an approved procedure in place for checking the replay, the right call could have been ascertained in both the McClelland/Hernandez play, and the Welke play the other night, with no muss, no fuss, no drama, and no doubt.

I can live without your agreement on the matter.

I don't have the slightest idea what that means.
