The Yankees protested their 7-6 loss to Boston last night because they claimed there was no indication of an injury to Red Sox starter Josh Beckett before he came out in the 5th inning. Relief pitcher Manny Delcarmen was given all the time he needed to warm up after Beckett was removed.
I have to admit I didn't watch this game because of the Celtics, but I really doubt anything will come of this. I will give the Yankees credit that they filed this complaint after the 5th inning when they were up 5-0, so at least we know they aren't just doing it, because they lost. Still, even if this does become an issue all the Sox would have to do is have Beckett miss his next turn in the rotation by a day or two, and then the MLB/Yankees will have nothing to say.
