An illegal player is an appealable infraction, right?
As an analogy, missing a base is an appealable infraction. We remain quiet and only apply a penalty if appealed by the other team.
Same with batting out of order. The umpire says nothing unless a proper appeal is offered.
Since an illegal player is an appealable infraction, why is it treated differently than the other two?

To be completely technical, the illegal player is a protest, not an appeal.
