June 25, 200719 yr This is what I sent you a text about. I was thinking...If there's a big run that you have to score from third, this could easily be a distraction play. First instinct is to double off the runner who left too early. Not sure how I feel about the definition of this being an 'appeal play' though...

I bet Myerhoff has it in his trick bag. What's your concern about the appeal play?
June 25, 200719 yr Good point on the distraction. I bet Myerhoff has it in his trick bag. What's your concern about the appeal play? I guess it's the definition (or what I think the definition is) of an 'appeal'. When ever there's an 'appeal', there is a communication with the umpire...ie...runner missed the bag, runner left early...etc. There was no communication and it's in the continuation of the play. To me, it's the very same as a force out on a 6-4-3 double play. That would negate the 'appeal' part of the 'appeal'...:creepy:

An appeal is any claim made against the offense for some sort of violation. It can be made immediately. It doesn't have to be a dead ball appeal and it doesn't have to go the mound first before the appeal.

It doesn't have to be a dead ball appeal and it doesn't have to go the mound first before the appeal. I didn't know that. I also didn't feel so bad knowing Orel Hershiser, Barry Larkin AND Mike Fox weren't too sure about it either...
June 25, 200719 yr Author I didn't know that. I also didn't feel so bad knowing Orel Hershiser, Barry Larkin AND Mike Fox weren't too sure about it either... Larkin is STILL trying to find the rule that says a guy that didnt tag and was called out can count as a run scored!!!
June 25, 200719 yr Larkin is STILL trying to find the rule that says a guy that didnt tag and was called out can count as a run scored!!! He'll be searching for a while... On a side note, the fellas and I were wagering that there were at least two coaches on OSU's bench wondering why in the hell they were winning 3-2 at that point...
