Rule question for anybody who owns one.
Did the Mets raise the objection or is this strictly an umpire's call?
If the mets, then wasn't it a mistake to do so after the guy made an
out?
In the scenario, Ross made an out, but then singled in his "true
slot" after the out was switched to Patterson.
Why wouldn't you let Ross make the out, then let Patterson bat, await
the outcome and object then? That way both are out even if by some
small miracle Patterson would reach?
Is my logic flawed?
