Example of why replay in baseball is so difficult

brewers 2 @ Cardinals 1 bottom of the 8th with 2 outs
Holiday at the plate runners on first and third hits a slow chopper up the middle.
2nd baseman can't make the play at 2nd so he goes to first to get Holliday and Holliday slides head first and looks to be safe but umpire calls him out
They review it and Holliday is called safe but what to do with carpenter who was at third before the pitch and may or not have scored on the play had Holliday been called safe originally
Umpires leave carpenter at third costing the cardinals the game tieing run.
I personally think he probably scores on the play but you can't say that for sure and I'm sure I'm biased. Idk exactly what the rule is but I'm pretty sure it's left to the umpire/New York's discretion and I feel like there's gotta be some way to have a concrete rule that is clear to determine what to do with the baserunner in a situation such as this
To be clear, this is not a bitch thread bc it cost the cardinals a run. In fact we just tied it up anyways but the point of this is to point out remaining issues with replay that need to be ironed out

Yeah. That's a weird play. Almost wish you could decline that.

Just like a fumble recovery in football by the defense when the original call wasn't a fumble.
You look at the video and see what the runner on 3rd did. If he ran home on the play he scores, if he stayed at 3rd.. he stays at 3rd.

If by "ironed out" you mean "removed from the game forever", I agree.
