Protested Game (2021 rule change)

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."
