Question About Bad Officiating/Recourse

How does it work? Terrible calls by officials, such as the one just now in baseball where runner is a step and a half beyond the bag when the ball arrives, an obvious blown call; if it's reported to the league office, what happens?
On such a call as the one today, in my opinion the official should be suspended or fired.
Some of you in the know explain what the process is and what goes on. Has any of these clowns been run off at mid season?

That's baseball.

That call was more obvious than 1985 world series

Nothing directly or terribly punitive immediately. But terrible calls will eventually force replay on all plays, which is inherently punitive.

It's the SEC. They have an established history of defending even the worst calls regardless of sport.

Maybe it's just me but officials too often determine the outcome of a game even on what appears to be an insignificant call at the time.
Just now, Walker gets screwed on an 0-2 obvious strike. Next pitch is a base hit.
Earlier when the call at 1st was totally blown, it ran us out of a potential big inning.
And it ain't "that's baseball" as someone said, it's wrong regardless, period, point blank.

Florida 2015 vs Tennessee and Auburn 2017 vs LSU both got wins in football by blatantly cheating and the refs allowing it.
IMO, if a school's clock operators fail to adhere to the rules of the game in order to gain an unfair advantage, the school should be forced to retroactive forfeit the game, and the refs who allowed it to happen fired or at the very least fined twice what they're paid for the game.
It's one thing to miss a call on a close play. It's another matter entirely when you fail to stop the clock on first downs and runs out of bounds on a would-be game-winning drive costing the visiting team nearly a minute of time and in doing so costing them the game.
It's only going to get worse until someone develops the balls to sue the conference over it.

As bad as it all may be, and whatever we think happens with SEC officials in all sports, there's no one BETTER out there. If you start suspending and firing officials, who will be left to officiate games?
I'm trying hard not to get worked up by bad calls in sports, because I can't do better than they do, and I'm not about to get out there and let everyone see it.
