“Anthony had a chance probably to go in the record books for all-time,” Maddon said.
The result was a “call stands” ruling, which by definition means the replay was inconclusive — which set Maddon off.
“I would have been fine with ‘confirmed,’ ” he said. “It ‘stands,’ which means they couldn’t tell. If it had remained a home run it would have
been a home run.

Joe also says that the first base umpire was insistent it was a home run the whole way. So the overturn of the home run call may not have been as much of a consensus that the commentariat seemed to assume.
