I need to hear from him that he definitely thinks the runner did not touch the plate and he is appealing that. I can also allow for the fact that I would consider his voice inflection and body language in him asking the question to make it a valid appeal.
OOO. If he didn't question it, he wouldn't ask. After all, an appeal is a request. The definition of request includes "asking" a question.
