and it can be protested because they don't like my hat. Will it be upheld.. NO! Because it ain't ILLEGAL. I think we are getting closer to enlightenment on this topic.. do YOU See the difference?
Better yet.. I am waiting for the testimony of upheld protests due to the "pulled foot changed call play". Or a host of evidence establishing a pattern.
I'm starting to think only ALIEN MIND RAY BEAMS can explain this goofy behavior.

A game CANNOT be protested because someone doesn't like the official's hat! This is an umpire's discussion board and umpire's hats are definitely NOT mandated under the rules of baseball. Only a misapplication of a rule of baseball is properly the subject of protest. Umpires should NOT accept protests which do NOT fit that description. OBR 4.19 covers this issue, but NOT the hat.
How did the "pulled foot changed call play" get into this discussion? If the official gets help BEFORE he makes a decision, no problem and no protest. If the official gets help AFTER he makes a decision, that's protestable for misapplication of rule 9.02(a). What could be easier to understand than that?
You keep repeating the mantra that "it ain't ILLEGAL". I keep proving it
is ILLEGAL. Do you have a learning difficulty? Are you intellectually or visually challenged that you can't understand or even see the facts? Or is it simply that you are determined to cement the burgeoning reputation of EWS for being a home for idiots and malcontents?
