So they called new york and agreed to put it under protest? What did they talk to New York about?
C&D said that they called to find out if this could be protested. It seems it can. Appears Maddon wants MLB to look at Doolittle's motion and declare if it is legal. Or sometimes legal and sometimes not, which would get umpires staring at Doolittle on every pitch. Martinez ought to have the umpires search Hendricks for emery board, vaseline, a razor-blade in the glove, or any of the classic ways to doctor a pitch.
