Short Protest

The umpires objections to instant replay didn't last long:

The deal was signed by lawyers for the commissioner's office and the World Umpires Association one day after a WUA spokesman went public with complaints over negotiations.

After haggling over final details, the sides exchanged proposals Tuesday night.

"We reached an agreement. Final decision with respect to moving ahead has not been made yet, but we have an agreement with the umpires," said Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president of labor relations.

I wonder if the manager will have to throw a flag on the field before the next pitch?

They can throw the yellow flags only if they promise not toss their laminated cards and headsets.
