However, F3 screams at his coach and tells him what happened. The HC appeals to PU, not the Bu and the PU calls BR out. Well, BR's HC gets tossed as he argues the call.

As I told my brother, PU should not have appealed, that was BU to appeal to PU. Anyway, PU should have left things alone.

OK, I ....THINK..... I agree w/ irefky:
but would someone please tell me in what demented CalvinBall universe does a rat "appeal to ..." an umpire other than the one who actually made the call AND GET ANY RESPONSE AT ALL??

This happens to me, I'm not going to the visitors for the bus, I'm looking to borrow a bat.
