Doesn't seem right. You want all your runners to stay right on the base, waiting to see if there might be some sort of appeal. When do you require them to go --- wouldn't want to be caught off base when that appeal is made!!!

I don'k know if it is different where you are from, but most places there is not a long delay in asking the BU if he swung. The pitch is caught, PU says ball, F1 asks did he go. So PU steps back and asks. Come on that takes like 1 or 2 seconds. You see it on TV all the time. There is no way that 2 seconds should cause R2 to be put out.
