No, what I'm saying is that as soon as the BU made a signal it became a proper appeal. It doesn't matter that it was the catcher who pointed to him for the appeal. He blew it and allowed the appeal. To overturn him at this point is throwing him under the bus.

How is that throwing someone under the bus telling the coach that this is your call, not the BU and you are the one that does the asking. I don't see your point whatsoever.

The point is they did get the call when the BU made it. I would hope that I wouldn't be working with a partner that would do this all game. I might give him the stink eye for a second and hope he picks up on it, but I'm going to wait until our post game to discuss it with him.

I agree with you. However in this situation the appeal wasn't denied by the BU. If you deny it after he made the call you're overturning him and throwing him under the bus.
