Upon reading the many people who are adamant that MLB should uphold this protest, I wonder if these same people are aware of the three possible outcomes of a protest. Pursuant to MLB's policy, when a protest is filed, it is:
1. Denied
2. Upheld, but game stands as played (i.e., nothing happens)
3. Upheld, game is replayed from point of protest (this is interesting, because in this specific situation, is not the "point of protest" a time later than when the actual infraction occurred? "Point of protest" is the policy mainly because it coincides with the time of the rules infraction if/when the protest is filed before the next pitch or play, yada...yada...yada)
