I didnt ask for an appeal because I wanted to see what would happen. I watch my HL a couple of days earlier ask for help on the same play. The BU who didn/t ask for help is just a baseball guy. After the inning I asked my friend if the 1st baseman pulled his foot & he said "if I would of appealed he would of said yes he pulled his foot". THAT IS WHY I DON'T LIKE BASEBALL AS MUCH AS FOOTBALL OFFICIATING. BASEBALL WILL LET SOMETHING WRONG GO ON WHEN FOOTBALL WON'T.

No true, that's why football has "INSTANT REPLAY" and baseball doesn't!
You can correct things retroactively in football without affecting the play. That is not true in baseball.
As stated, the BU should be smart enought to know if there is a chance F3 was off the bag - then quickly ask before making the call.
Once he makes the call as out then its too late.
I know he was your friend as PU, but you never tell a coach, "if he would have asked I would have said he pulled his foot." That undermines the whole crew.
