due to covid, i think in 2020 teams could not protest a game. How about last year. Could teams protest a game? If not, can they once again protest a game in 2022.

I don't remember seeing that, but I have no reason to suggest that was not the case. 

I'd imagine "protests" will be back...but in MLB...do you think protests will be fixed via replay consultation w/ NY & the game continued?

here is the article from 2021= no protests and i thought it was also for the shortened 2020 as a special provision (rule) once they figured out what type of season they were going with but it was too late to edit the 2020 rule book. no big headlines about this or in 2021

below is the 2021 rule book as mentioned in the article above

the official rules on MLB dot com are still showing the 2021 rule which is why i am asking ccs if the protest has been reinstated. i do not think you would want the umpires by themselves to hastily rule on the bolded below and the whole procedure itself as written pre covid in 2019.

i would imagine to your question.  protests use to be something that goes to the commissioners office or his designated personel on protest situations. they are not designed to be ruled upon at the point of protest. however could that change or was that put into the umpires new CBA that started in 2020 when the special covid rules also started, i have no idea. it may or may not happen in the future. i would prefer to keep things as is, but if change happens it happens.

each league shall adopt ruled governing procedure for protesting a game, when a manager claims that an umpire's decision is in violation of these rules. No protest shall (hey, isn't that one of those High School test words, shall or shall not) ever be permitted on judgment decisions by the umpire. in all protested games, the decision of the league President shall be final (or should we say league representative). Even if it is held that the protested decisions 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.

you also have the timeline in the comment to that rule of having until noon of the next day to file the verbal protest from the night before.
