RE: OBR 5.07
I believe that for third out discussions/fourth out appeals 5.07 is not applicable. OBR 7.10(d) provides that "If the violation occurs during a play which ends a half-inning, the appeal must be made before the defensive team leaves the field." Furthermore, "For the purpose of this rule, the defensive team has 'left the field' when the pitcher and all infielders have left fair territory on their way to the bench or clubhouse."
