Don asked that if by using my suggestion of turning to an infielder and asking what it was that the coach or other non-infielder was saying that we'll "give away" the fact that an appeal is coming. If all coaches are like the ones here, I can hear them perfectly well when they say that somebody missed a base - and so can everyone in the next several towns. So, no, this does not give the defense any kind of a break. All it does is keep me from having to explain to the teams that only an infielder can appeal. And after the inning is over, I will approach that coach and let him/her know that I had to get that appeal from an infielder. That's a good question, hope this makes it clear for ASA - see Roger's comments for NFHS. I had not noticed that problem in the NFHS books, so I'm going to have to make sure that we talk about that one Monday at our chapter get together.
