How far does the autonomy go?

From your last rant about umpires and getting the call right, you still cant explain what umpire would have the authority to overrule another umpire or how to handle situations where the umpires differ on their judgement of a call. In a 2 umpire system do you want it to be a flip of the coin? In a 3 umpire system is it majority rule?

As for "getting the call right", prime example also on national TV of getting the call right actually getting the call wrong. Florida/Auburn game on saturday, tag play at the plate umpire makes out call. Florida coach asks plate ump to check for a bobbled ball on the tag. Plate ump gets together with U3 who apparently saw a bobble and call is reversed to safe. Replay clearly shows no bobble of the ball on the tag and the initial out call was correct.

People make mistakes, it is a fact of life. Even umpires getting together is no guarantee the call is going to be right just as in the example above. Without reviewing every play in super slow motion replay, which by the way I hate in absolutely every sport that uses instant replay, there is no way to make sure every play is called correctly. The human eye does not see things in 20,000 frame super slow motion with stop action. Coaches arent perfect, players arent perfect but everyone expects officials to be 100% perfect on every play. Yes, officials need to be accurate, but we are humans and humans are going to make mistakes.
