OK, let's suppose the offense DOES notice the bad call, and lodges an official protest.
Is this a protestable call? (I think so - misapplication of a rule - the batter was not out; it was not a judgment call.)
So, if the protest is upheld, then game resumes later.
What happens? Does the batter get a "do over" or does the umpire then have to try to figure out how the play would have continued? Isn't it better to try to figure that out on the spot?
Making a bad fair/foul call is not protestable. This would seem to me to be protestable.
