PU called a "ball" (no swing), but the offense wanted to appeal the swing because BR would be awarded first base (dropped 3K).

If memory serves me correct, it was brought up as "one of those things we don't have a ruling."
Well, if that were the case, I was there, but don't remember that one. OTOH, do you remember this one that occurred at the same clinic? A scenario of a pop-up on the 1st base line. P was moving to make the catch and checked up because the BR cut him off. Ball landed fair and then rolled foul. Ruling? Forget the INT, it is easier to just rule it a foul ball.

Yeah, all my guys looked at each other and just shook our head
