I used to disparage the idea of doing away with appeals, but now I'm not sure it wouldn't be an improvement. However, such a major change in the way plays are called might have negative ramifications we haven't considered.

Carl Childress, for one, believes that (in baseball) appeals for missed bases and bases left too soon should indeed be simply umpire calls.
