We're simply endorsing the practice advised by Andy Konyar for Little League and Jim Evans for pro ball, that says certainly first you try to dissuade a coach from making a frivolous protest over a judgment decision, but, rather than stand there and argue with him about whether or not his protest is "valid," if he insists on protesting, let him protest. Then go back to playing baseball.

Add Jaksa/Roder to the group:
"Protest - If a manager claims that an umpire has misapplied a rule, he can file a protest. A manager cannot protest an umpire's judgment (i.e., his decision of a ball or strike, safe or out, fair or foul, etc.), but if such manager perseveres in his demand to protest, an umpire should accept it."
