The other - which is the way I read it ... is that the PU saw the non-catch and RULED incorrectly. If this is a RULES mistake, then A) yes, it is protestable and B) it is FIXABLE on the field (in fact, it MUST be fixed).

IMO, doesn't matter which view you take. You say MUST be fixed and is protestable.

Ok tell me how are you going to fix?

You have 2 choices plus placement of runners. One of the choices is NOT a do-over.

Choice 1 - Out stands

Choice 2 Place B1 at first base.

Now the "fun part" what are you going to do with R2/R3?

The fact is the umpire made a mistake just like an erroneous Foul call -NO DIFFERENT no matter how you view this OP. Eat the call and move on.
