PROTESTS AND DIRECTORS ABILITY TO OVER TURN
1. IN THE EVENT OF A PROTEST: THE COACH PROTESTING MUST STOP THE GAME, REQUEST A DIRECTOR AND PRESENT THE DIRECTOR WITH $100 BEFORE PROTESTING THE RULE. IT WILL LIKELY BE AGE, ROSTER OR A BAT PROTEST. IF THE COACH IS CORRECT IN HIS PROTEST HE WILL GET THE $100 BACK.
2.COACHES CAN ONLY PROTEST A RULE AND THE PROTEST MUST BE DONE BEFORE THE GAME CONTINUES ANY FURTHER. EXAMPLE: A PITCHER PITCHES MORE THAN THEIR MAXIMUM INNING IN A DAY. THEN THAT PITCHER COMES OUT OF THE GAME AND IS NO LONGER THE PITCHER OF RECORD. ONE OF YOUR COACHES REALIZES LATER IN THE GAME WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND WANTS TO PROTEST. YOU CANNOT LEGALLY PROTEST. THAT PITCHER IS NO LONGER PITCHING.
3. IF YOU THINK THERE IS A RULE THAT NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED MAKE SURE THAT YOU STOP THE GAME BEFORE ANOTHER PITCH IS THROWN. IN MANY CASES IF THERE HAS BEEN A RULE MISINTERPRETATION AND THE NEXT PITCH IS THROWN, IT’S NOT POSSIBLE TO GO BACK IN TIME AND FIX THE CALL EVEN IF IT WAS MISSED AND THERE IS A RULE THAT OVERTURNS IT. IT’S NOT EVER POSSIBLE TO GO BACK INTO A GAME AND FIX A MISTAKE. MOREOVER, YOU CAN NEVER PROTEST AFTER THE GAME IS OVER.
4.IF THE UMPIRE MISSES A JUDGMENT CALL THE DIRECTOR DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO OVERTURN THAT CALL EVEN IF THE DIRECTOR IS WATCHING THE GAME. ONLY THE OFFICIALS ON THE FIELD MAKE THAT CALL. AS LONG AS THEY ALLOW US TO PLAY BASEBALL THERE WILL BE MISSED CALLS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WATCH PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL EACH NIGHT AND EVEN WITH THE REPLAY THEY STILL MISS CALLS. THE DIRECTOR DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO OVER TURN THOSE MISSED CALLS. THE DIRECTOR CAN ONLY OVERTURN RULES WRONGLY ENFORCED OR MISINTERPRETED.
