Agreed. For those that say this was on the umpires, please explain what - exactly - they DID wrong during the play itself.

The blank stares after the coach asked about D3K did not affect the play.

If the PU did definitively declared the batter out, then that would be a changed call, but the OP made no mention of that.

Again, what did they do wrong during the play that affected the play of either team?

I'm waiting....
