Holy crap - umpire got over ruled on a safe/out call at first, by crew chief.

Yankee game, anybody see it?
I have never seen a bang-bang play at first get overruled.
If I was the ump I'd be pissed for being shown up by the crew chief.

[The Giant]

Was the overruling the right call?

Either way.
Gardner on first, Fransisco sac bunts to third, throw low to first (Encarncion) looked like a snow cone job but called out, four umps converge, change the call, call Fransisco out of the dugout and put him back on first. Not blatant at all, should have just let it stand.

At least nobody scored in the inning, so no damage done either way

I know, my point being, it was so close, why show up the ump who made the call.

Ya, I was very shocked when it happened.

Yeah I have never seen anything like that before. There are waay worse calls that would deserve to be overturned before that one.

I umpired and if you see the play and sometimes the right guy making the call gets screened.
You dont overturn a play call until the guy who made the call looks to you and asks. You then walk
towards him letting him know its time to talk. If he says he was screened then you can overturn the
its not a big deal.
