Rita, which appeal plays are force plays? I believe they are all time plays.

Even when a runner is trying to get back to a bag on a caught ball and the fielder throws behind him trying for the double play...this is not a force. It is still an appeal play and time play. Its just happening really fast. Hence my question on why time was called.

I've actually had players try to call time, just so they could toe the rubber, have me put the ball in play, step off and make an appeal. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD just throw the ball over to the bag!
