Where are we coming up with the idea that we must allow runners to complete their running responsibilities during a LIVE ball appeal? This is included in DEAD ball appeals to preclude the defense from requesting time to PREVENT the runners from correcting running mistakes. This does not apply during a live ball appeal. Otherwise, any runner leaving early could just trot back to the base he left, even if a defensive player was standing on the base with the ball, as long as the ball remained live.
