It's not an appeal, it's a request for help. What Buck did was he went to the PU with two things. First, that's not U2s call to make on the appeal, he shouldn't have answered it. Plus, the PU had a far better angle on it, could he help out on the call. Now the second request should have gone to U2, but the chance of U2 admitting it wasn't his call in the first place would be remote. Buck played the odds, and won. Pretty smart for a manager to know umpire rotations.
