1. I don't understand how Rapuano missed the initial (routine) call, but hey, he's human.
2. Given the "get it right" philosophy of new school umpiring, the crew acted correctly. 3. Leyland is old school and didn't like the reversal. :shrug:

Reading Rapuano's lips, you could see him say "Everyone in the whole [bleeping] place knows I missed it".

Ed is a good friend and old partner so I can't really rank on him too much. It's obvious that he "fell asleep" and took the $hitty end of the stick to boot.
Good learning opportunity here for rookies. You made a bad call and you know you did. You go for help and your partner tells you what he as (the opposite of what you called). You then change the call "to get it right" and you endure the wrath of the coach affected by the call. You let him vent for a while as it was your screw up that caused the whole problem. But when the coach animates what you do, he has to go. If Leyland didn't do that, he could have jawed at Ed for another hour and Ed would have kept agreeing with him. See how it goes - they cry when we stick with our calls and they cry when we have "board meetings". If I have to eat $hit, I'd rather stick with my call and get chewed on. It's a personal preference so don't try to change my mind - after almost 40 years, it ain't gonna happen!
