The "touching the bag, F3 picks up ball" is not an appeal.
Isn't "Making an immediate safe call and then a reversal ... snip .. .for an obvious live ball appeal" not really a reversal but two calls; which we do often enough that most will get it?
Wouldn't making no call conflict with "the umpire made the correct call, in the correct manner. The runner beat the play, the runner is to be ruled safe and that is the correct call. Now, if an appeal takes place, the umpire makes a ruling on the appeal, not a reversal of the initial call"?
Or am I tuned in to Mars today?
