Yes. I have watched a lot of baseball and it seems everytime a crew has gotten together to discuss what has happened, they end up getting it right. The problem with umps is when one tries to make the decision all on his own. Any time there is a close call it would probably benifit the game if the ump would swallow his pride and admit he didn't see it and ask for help.
