That is certainly one possibility. I just said that it wasn't there anymore. I actually have no idea why.

In other words - an umpire who rules against what the organization wants will likely lose in an official protest.

I do not think it is safe to say that because there is nothing in the text of the rule or any interpretation that suggests the source's suggested ruling is correct.

Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last.

I'm going to settle this once and for all by ordering the "get every MLB game" option from my cable TV company and then simply watching all the games until the play occurs and I can see how the umpires rule.

Good idea. But, that assumes that they would rule correctly.

To be sure, however they rule should be protested, and then the protest ruled upon.

There isn't one published. But if you are interested in what they want...all you have to do is ask for it.
