"Do you think it would be appropriate to rule it a strike without being asked by the PU in this situation?"
--------------------------------------------------
Yes. It is standard practice in MLB. Don't confuse it with the catchers interference ruling where the manager MUST ask for the option.
Wait a minute! You want BUs to call strikes without being asked by PU? Is that what you mean by "unilateral appeal?"
I agree with PUs asking for help in the situations described but totally disagree with PUs inserting themselves into the mix without being asked.
