I am surprised that Mike would protest the game on a call in the first inning, that was indeed a judgment call.

Mike should know better, since he played the position.
But he probably believed that
any throw to first base that is off because of the BR's position outside the lane is cause for a RLI call. There are many who don't understand that the INT has to be with the fielder taking the throw, not with the fielder throwing it.
