    Had he simply run through the base rather than diving he would have beat the throw easily.

    "They have them if they execute"

    "They don't execute"

    Bizarro Matt Dominguez. Shaky in the field, solid at the plate.

    We aren't going to let Chris Ianetta beat us.

    So the game is under protest, correct? Does that mean that if the MLB front office decides the umps broke a rule (not based on a judgement call), the game will be replayed possibly?

    Replayed from the point of the blown call.

    Time to name Wright day to day with an injury.

    Almost never happens.

    The George Brett pine tar episode is the one that everybody remembers. Normally you just get the "it was a judgement call" response.

    You would have to think there was something to Porter's decision because it is a pretty easy and standard rule that every manager and umpire knows.

    Buster brings up an interesting point:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>The key question was whether Wright threw any warmup pitches (I don't know the answer). If he did, Scioscia may have a beef.</p>&mdash; Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) <a href="https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/332696075989299200">May 10, 2013</a></blockquote>

    That would make sense if that is the case. There must have been some reason for Porter to be able to do what he did.

    Hopefully just an injury. MLB umpires don't need to show they are blind and don't know the rules.

    the thing is, if they were to replay it, the rosters wouldn't necessarily be the same anyway, and wright wouldn't necessarily be on the team, so he wouldn't have to pitch anyway, and the whole beef would be pointless.
