Thanks for the explanation, Tony. If the play now requires an appeal, how do they call this one:
Abel hits a ground ball to short and clearly beats the throw to 1B but misses the base. Is that now an appeal play, or does the ump still call Abel out?
And if the ump does call Abel out, how is the play where Abel triples but misses 1B any different?
