Though I don't ump baseball (only softball here), I'll throw in my two cents.

The rule book itself is very hand-held. I don't know the particular BOO situation you're talking about, but my guess is that the umpires were sure enough (albeit incorrectly) of their ruling, and felt no need to go to a rule book. So, even if they had some sort of PDA device, they wouldn't have used it, because they thought they had it right. Otherwise, you would have to suggest that before they make every ruling, they need to check the rule book, even if they're sure of it.

Once again, I don't know the particular example you're talking about, but if what you're saying is right (and I don't doubt that it is), then they just got it wrong. It happens.
