PROTESTING GAMES. Each league shall adopt rules governing procedure for protesting a game, when a manager claims that an umpire's decision is in violation of these rules. No protest shall ever be permitted on judgment decisions by the umpire. In all protested games, the decision of the League President shall be final. Even if it is held that the protested decision violated the rules, no replay of the game will be ordered unless in the opinion of the League President the violation adversely affected the protesting team's chances of winning the game. Whenever a manager protests a game because of alleged misapplication of the rules the protest will not be recognized unless the umpires are notified at the time the play under protest occurs and before the next pitch is made or a runner is retired. A protest arising on a game ending play may be filed until 12 noon the following day with the League Office.

You can be sure Mike Scioscia protested the call while on the field. You can be sure that the League President will review the call. But I am fairly certain nothing will be done about it. This game has too much weight. If it were a meaningless game, maybe the protest goes through. But it's Game 2 of an ALCS. It ties the series at 1-1 and prolongs the series, giving baseball what they want - a possible game 6 & 7. An Angels sweep hurts the ratings. Games 6 & 7 are gold for the league. They won't reverse the call. But at least we have a chance. And if this doesn't fire up the Angels even more, I'm not sure what will.
