I was told last night that the Jays couldn't appeal because they left the field. Of course, since I was watching the game and they weren't, I asked if a team had ever stayed on the field after the umpires called the inning over. What would happen if a team just stayed on the field? I'm sure there is a rule against it.
And people talked about 'Playing under protest'. But that doesn't exist anymore:
As of the 2021 season, Rule 7.04 in the Official Baseball Rules was amended to read:
"Protesting a game shall never be permitted, regardless of whether such complaint is based on judgment decisions by the umpire or an allegation that an umpire misapplied these rules or otherwise rendered a decision in violation of these rules."
But baseball has to change a rule. If a run can be given 10 minutes after an inning has ended, a team should be allowed to appeal at the same time. It can't be a one-way street.
