apparently (my guess) they chose to only review the Cleveland replay. Had they seen the Oakland verison with enhanced effects they would have reveresed the call.

Ken Korach of the A's just announced this on radio during today's radio broadcast.

Umps blew it by relying on a single, and inferior, replay.
