The umpires in the Angels @ Houston game just completely jacked up the rules.
In the 7th inning, Houston puts in a relief pitcher. Angels put in a pinch hitter in response. In response to that, Houston relieves the pitcher.
You can't do that. That is not an obscure rule, it is basic umpiring 101, and it is amazing that these MLB-level umpires screwed that rule up.
A relief pitcher must face one batter before being relieved, unless he's hurt. The game is currently being played under protest. The Angels just scored 3 in the 8th to take the lead so it might end up being no harm, no foul, but if Houston comes back to win, things are gonna get interesting. This was not a "judgment call" like that homer in the A's game, its a clear, blatant screw-up of the rules.
