Here's an interesting call that you don't see everyday:
Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | COL@ATL: Pacheco homers, drives in a pair to fuel win - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia Scroll through the play list and click on " COL@ATL: Chipper reaches on overturned call at first" The play involves Scott Barry - HP Umpire (MLB Full time - NOT the Crew Chief) and Jordan Baker 1B Umpire (AAA/MLB). I put thier levels of experience because it may have contributed to how/why things played out the way they did. I wait to hear your thoughts - this should be interesting ... |

Obviously goes against the previous time-honored practice that one umpire won't overturn another umpire's call. Perhaps this is the "new and improved" way of doing things that will be reflected in the 2013 version of the MLBUM.

That's awful. Not to mention that frame by frame the overturn appears to be wrong.

Where was Scott Barry when you needed him here??
