Yeah, there is. It is called DEAD BALL! I'm screaming since you apparently do not know that NOTHING can happen once a dead ball situation occurs. That means no matter what the retired batter did with the bat to the ball, for the purpose of the game, absoluty nothing happened. Cannot rule on something that did not occur.
So lets take this example, the ump calls batter out of box, the ball is hit over the fence for an apparent HR. The ump realizes that the batter was not in fact out of the batters box (for whatever reason, he saw a footprint, misunderstood where the batters box ends....) Are you saying the right thing to do is to uphold the out call and not award a HR? if so, you need to rethink the purpose of umpires.

How can you not know it wasn't 100% clear since you are the ONLY one who claims to have gotten the message even though your version is still completely supposition.

No, the OP makes no reference to the umpire thinking he was wrong. It only states that the umpires got together to make up some mystical ruling that has zero basis.
The OP says "The umpires met and ruled ...." I am the only one who has the intellect to realize that this means the umps met and made a ruling bc they made a mistake, hence the batter was not in fact out of the box????

Theres no other logical explanation to award anyone any bases unless the reason is an erroneous call by the ump.
