Re-Broadcasting Major League Baseball With Implied Oral Consent

Clearly safe
Exhibit #2 for why I find it difficult and useless to get emotionally invested in Major League Baseball:  MLB Umpires (or in this case Jerry Meals).  I have many other examples that I would rather not relive at the moment, but this was pretty stupid (because no one EVER calls it because it isn't the rule), and most umpires are huge controlling douchebags.  Kind of ironic I am a Royals fan and they won the 1985 World Series on a bad umpiring call.... except that the Cardinals still had the chance to win game 6 in the 9th and, oh I don't know, score a run in game 7.  But other interpretations are fine.  My #1 reason to not become emotionally invested in the MLB: the financial situation, but that's business stuff and no one cares (because it's cool for the Yankees to outspend half the league by $100 million).
