Matthew makes a good point. Some appeals can make a timing play confusing. Here's an example: There are two outs and a runner at second base. The batter hits a home run, but the runner ahead of him misses third base. A proper appeal is made at third base. The lead runner is called out. No runs would score because a run cannot score if the runner ahead of him makes the third out. In this case, the appeal on the missed base takes precedence over the "timing play."
