Appeal question....

[schoony]

Fly out to F8, R3 leaves base early and touches home. Coach calls runner back to third and he makes it back, but fails to re-touch home on his way back to third.

Defense appeals third base (wrong base), umpire calls play ball. Can the defense appeal home after the appeal to third or do they only have one chance at appeal?

One appeal per runner per base.

That's what he is asking, can they appeal that he did not retouch home on his way back to 3B?

And Bob correctly answered it.

Good Question...

Can the same runner be appealed twice in a row. If an appeal is not successful @ 3rd base can an appeal @ home be immeadiately made then?

How many times can the same runner be appealed at different bases in a row?

I say if one runner has two violations possibly that yes two appeals can be made in a row as long as they are at different bases. Never had it happen though. Am I right or wrong?

There are 4 bases so their could be 4 consectutive appeals on one runner. The question at hand, is does a runner have to retouch on his way back to a base left early and if not is he subject to appeal for missing the retouched base?

The coach thought he left early and called him back, and he made it back. After touching home and moving towards the dugout for example, can he run directly back to 3B without retouching home?
