Actually, I'm not that critical here. MLB has been telling teams to speed up games. Burriss would have been alerted ("If Bengie gets on base, you're running for him") and would have therefore gone out there as soon as the play appeared to end. The Replay rule is so new that there's no "case law" and therefore there's no obvious point where "the next play begins" like the NFL rule. So here we have a new rule and an existing MLB policy that are in conflict with each other.
