Get it Right --- The 1st Time!

This video is an argument I have with the new way of "board meeting umpiring".

Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | COL@NYM: Collins ejected for disputing call - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia

My view is get it right the first time, not after a "board meeting". We all know that you are supposed to move with the play, in this case a run down. My problem is I see way too many calls made only to result in a meeting, leading to a call reversal (most times the correct call) then an argument. If the correct call were made the 1st time, there would be no argument (most of the time)! Now, I am not referring to professional ball, I am seeing this happening way too many times in amateur ball. This "board meeting umpiring" needs to stop. We need to teach our rookies that the 1st call is the call that needs to be on the money and stop relying on the "board meeting".
