I was working the plate in an adult wood-bat game last night. At some point in the game there were runners on base when the batter squares to bunt. The batter makes no attempt to bunt but is slow pulling the bat back. The pitch is out of the zone and I announce 'ball'. F5, who also the manager, tells the catcher to ask for an appeal.

The catcher turns and asks me, "Can we appeal that?"

I answer, "For what?"

"I didn't think so."
