In this replay age getting it right wins.

I don't agree that this would "preclude him from asking for help". So ultimately, and by whatever means they used, the umpires did end up getting the call at first base right.

Yes, why? What inning was it and why would that matter?

Correct.
That was true before the "replay age".

Maybe I don't understand this question.
Assuming I do, let's use an extreme well-known example. Jim Joyce, MLB Umpire who kicked a call that cost a pitcher a perfect game. He knew he kicked the call. His partners knew he kicked the call. My question to you is, why didn't they get together and get it right?

Because the rules say you do not give input on another officials call unless specifically asked by the calling official. He had the ability to go ask his partners himself if he was missing something but by rule his partners cannot go to him and try to get him to overturn his call.

If you can find the replay from the CF camera, you can see that the pitcher did not close the glove around the ball right of way. I can see what may have given Joyce a problem, but he didn't mention it in his interview.

OK, I'm not going down the Jim Joyce rabbit hole.
And maybe I have an 0-2 count on the message board. One more swing, then that's it. It has always been my understanding that judgement calls should never be reversed (no matter how bad the call may have been); it is a matter of game integrity. Specifically: a.) If the calling umpire has all four of the elements in front of him/her, then it is a judgement call; and not legitimate grounds for asking for, or giving, help. b.) Going for help (with or without an appeal) is reserved for those circumstances when the calling umpire did not have all four elements of the play in front of him/her. Simply put, "help" is the opportunity to provide additional information that was not available to the calling umpire, not just another opinion on the same set of facts. I will also say this. We have some rec leagues where a regular umpire will have a youth umpire partner with no formal training. It is clearly understood, that whatever call the youth umpire makes, the call will not be changed by the regular umpire, even if the coaches request. If this is not the case, I will go back to my assignors, trainers, clinicians and mentors and tell them I got it wrong.

He reversed the call, everyone was happy, and we continued the game. He had all 4 elements in front of him, but because he dozed off for a play, made a bad judgment call. The good news was that he realized it and we were able to fix it.
