Their judgement that the fielder caused contact is not protestable, as any judgement is not (that is why we start every sentence with "In my judgement....") but the fact that they misinterpreted the rule about the double first base is very protestable.

Of cource as mcrowder mentioned the coach would have to be smart enough to protest in the correct way to change this call.

I see, thanks
