How can a veteran like Mike O'Reilly, in position to make a call on a home run, be so easily overruled by crew members who had worse viewpoints?

If instant replay is ever instituted in baseball it will be because of disgraceful calls like this one.

Who is Mike O'Reilly?

There is only one angle for that call, and O'Reilly had it. I can't see changing that one unless it was obviously wrong, and it obviously wasn't.

It all happened a lot faster than what the replay showed us.

Reilly got the call right the first time. He called for the huddle, so I don't know what his problem with the call was. "Balking" Bob Davidson was the one who told Reilly the ball was foul. Randolph only came out after the call of home run was changed.

In other words, the end result the call was blown.
