[St. Louis Blue]

Coach&Blue:

You are not wrong to want to play by the rules of baseball, however what most of us are trying to get across is that although the incorrect application of the rule may be theoretically protestable, in practice it is not.
Unfortunately, you may have encountered an umpire with an incomplete grasp of the rules. On the other hand, I have had encounters with coaches that claim that the pitcher is not pausing. The rule is a complete stop. My opinion may be that the pitcher stops, you feel he does not. HTBT
