So just because all 4 guys uphold an incorrect ruling that ruling must have been correct? Yeah, that makes sense.

And when PU said, "I judged interference on the BR", what exactly would you be basing your protest on?
On the fact that there couldn't be interference on this play because the catcher could not have been making a play to retire a runner if said runner could not have been liable to have been put out; he had the base free and clear due to the walk.
