I can see some interesting scenarios deveoping out of this.
1. F3 who yells appeal every time she catches the ball on a close play at first, just in case the runner misses the bag
2. F2 who calls for an appeal at the plate after every "scrum" type play or collision (provided no OBS, INT, USC) just to make sure.
3. F2 who gets pulled off the plate by the throw as the runner is taking the wide slide for the hand tag but never makes it or slides too far off the plate to reach it so the catcher steps on the plate and yells appeal even though she could still reach out and make the tag on the runner whose forward momentum has stopped. Did the runner miss the plate or has she just not reached it yet?
We are not supposed to allow them to fish but if they are asking for the appeal, don't we need to grant it?
