They can do it because the rule itself was never changed. This "interpretation" was created to provide replay officials with more precise criteria for their decisions. In an attempt to create clarity, someone misinterpreted the rule completely and provided an interpretation that was actually a contradiction of the way the rule had always been understood. That ended up having consequence beyond replay because it was in essence telling people "what you thought this rule meant all along was wrong" and that was never the original intent. Good on MLB for owning the mistake and telling people to ignore the new interpretation.

Lol MLB. Next up is fixing the blocking the plate rule. Then they need to tweak the replay rules. Pretty much every new rule that was instituted this year needs to be fixed.

A move in the right direction now I only hope they do something about the manager's challenge. It slows up the game much more than anticipated by allowing the manager to take his time to walk out there and then make small talk while looking into the dugout for a signal to signify whether he should go ahead with the challenge or not. If the above can be done in-season then the same should be done, in my opinion, for that issue as well.
