This was on a live-ball appeal of the runner leaving early from second base:

"It's not like the major league rule where the pitcher has to get on the rubber and then step off and appeal, they can just throw the ball over to the base for the appeal."

Where do they get this stuff?
If the commentators are former MLB players...Probably off the same paper that labels which coffee pot in the clubhouse is "leaded" and which is "unleaded". (or is it "loaded" and "unloaded"?}
