Exclamation MLB Umpire, UNSOLICITED, Overturns Another Umpire's Call

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 ...

Scroll to the end. It's the next to last video.

It's at the end of the "Play List" (second from last highlight) when you scroll through

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.

Well, it's not in the 2012 version, I can assure you!

Where was Scott Barry when you needed him here??

Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | Must C Call: Johnson ejected as Prado ruled safe - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia

I guess Marvin Hudson gets more leeway as a veteran umpire than Jordan Baker did.
