Dakota, and all:
Is the appeal of the missed base (even if was the base forced to) considered to be a timing play (POE #1, J.-highlighted rule change for 2004-see bleow), so the run would score if the appeal came after scoring runner does so before the appeal on the missed base is made?
I find this confusing, as the highlighted type seems to contradict the previous text listed in J, which states that an appeal honored at a base which a runner was forced to being the third out nullifies a run from scoring. So exactly what is the purpose of the highlighted-type change to this rule? Does it make it the appeal into a timing paly or not?
Here it is: ON AN APPEAL PLAY, THE FORCE OUT IS DETERMINED WHEN THE APPEAL IS MADE, NOT WHEN THE INFRACTION OCCURRED.
Thanks.
