Right. But there is mention that an appeal is no longer viable. It's under the notes in 7.10.

Any appeal under this rule must be made before the next pitch, or any play or attempted play.

So, under OBR, the offense has a chance to bait the defense into attempting a play in order to negate an appeal. A wise defense will ignore the bait if the appeal is viable.
