Verbal INT??

In the end, the crew bought the arguement and returned the batter to hit, basically a "do-over". There was an ensuing argument of course from the defense, to no avail.

Really bad, especially TWO umpires falling for it.
Besides, it would be OBS if it affected the offense, INT only if it affected the defense.
Someone should congratulate the fielders who made the play for not listening.
