In fact, assuming OBR rules, 9.02b allows a manager to appeal "only to the umpire that made the protested decision." It is then his perogative to ask his partners for help or say my call was final. Not yours.

Jicecone,

9.02b is irrelevant in this scenario. 9.02b talks about Rule interpretations not JUDGEMENT calls like safes/outs which is what the thread is about.

There is nothing to protest and nothing to appeal. One team was dissatisfied with the call of OUT/SAFE. Nothing in the thread at least the way I read it, indicated anything about the BU misapplying a rule which is what 9.02b is about.

Other than Rule interps the only other rule in which a coach can request an appeal is on the check swing called a ball.
