The defense MUST appeal this miss of home to get an out.

And if I'm right that this doesn't require an appeal, then where is the line.

IMO, mind you this is based on nothing more than MY interpretation of the rules, if you announce an the runner is awarded home and they dont touch home, i dont see how its not abandonment. did the runner make an attempt to touch home? no, did the runner go to/stay in the dugout? yes. unless im missing something, why is that not abandonment?
mbcrowder, can you please explain a situation where you would call abandonment? thanks
