    they have time as these teams won't play until Sunday ... MLB will do nothing, although the rules were clearly violated as it was not an immediate call

      Yep, Orioles/Rangers to start in 5 minutes on TNT no matter what happens in this game.

      I'm sticking with this NL game though now. This is must see TV.

        Whatever has not been thrown on the field will be if the Braves lose this game. I feel bad for anyone in a St.Louis jersey walking back to the parking lot.

          No, of course not. So what we do is make the protest rules more specific for the playoffs or for the late innings, ect...but you gotta do something. This is obviously a "loophole" in the rulebook. When a loophole is discovered, do what you need to do to close it, or at least tighten it up.

            Gotta give it up to Chipper Jones. What a career. Much respect.

              That's not even remotely funny after the Bryan Stow incident last season.

                  Just for clarification these are the rules for protesting. Judgement calls cannot be protested.

                  Then stick a solid line on every field and mark off the zone. Works for hockey.

                        Even more reason to not decide a wildcard round with a 1-game series. A top defense in the league has 3 errors, and the umps make a horrendous call that, despite being something to protect the batting team from getting doubled up, wound up costing the batting a team an out that they wouldn't have had otherwise.

                        Anything can happen in one game and this is even more true of baseball, and yet the MLB concludes that a 1 game series is good enough.

                        Screw the WS ending in October, it won't happen if it takes more than 4 games anyways. Make this a 3-game series starting next year.

                        Hopefully that starts a rally.

                                One of the biggest overreactions to a call I've ever seen.
