I really believe that this isn't the usual scenario. They got this call wrong based on the Oscar winning performance of Captain America. They must have figured if he's riving in pain, then he must have got hit. Anybody else in the league probably wouldn't have gotten the benifit of the doubt that Jeter did.
But the bottom line is that it was another botched call by the umpires. You would think another form of replay is going to be introduced somewhere in the near future.
