Yeah and the list of 'exceptions' would grow incredibly as we went along until the list of exceptions was larger than the actual rule book.
There's no opening for Bud to change this. Its a part of baseball (bad calls) and should be left that way. Umps are human and the game should be left that way. Would we be having this conversation if the bad call was with one out in the fifth? I hate it for the guy, but this is a part of baseball and helps make baseball the game it is.
