What is not known here is whether "time" was called in the interim. If so, then the only way to properly but the ball back into play is to have the pitcher engage the rubber with the ball.
Then he can make an appeal. If the ball never went dead, then as we all know, he doesn't have to go through that whole rubber thing.
