Tim.

I don't think an appeal is necessary. BR stopped short of 1st this is just a standard force play put out.

I agree. What was the BU looking at, anyway? That is his responsibility to make sure the BR touches 1st base, and especially now that the winning run is going to score. My guess is he was "hipmotized" by all the excitement and forgot to do his job.
