[QUOTE=johnnyg08]Been a crazy year for me so far...had some calls I've never had before...
1. Intentional Drop 2. Batter out of batters box (bunt attempt w/ one foot out of the box just above the apex of home plate) never thought I'd call it, but it was so obvious, I had to call it last night. He even got away w/ it the first attempt because I wasn't 100% the 1st time. I'm sure there will be more weird stuff this season. Note: Umpires...please never, never call an infield fly on a bunt attempt![/QUOTE I had an interesting one last night too. A batter missed first base and the ball was thrown into deadball territory. I award the batter second base (he still does not touch first base). The coach was yelling to initiate an appeal when the ball was live. I put the ball back in play, and the right handed pitcher asks for an appeal and throws over without stepping off the rubber. |

Why is the appeal nullified? It's perfectly legal. If you're posting because the ball was thrown out of play, it sounds like that occurred during continuous action. The ball is made live again, then the appeal is allowed. If you're posting that it's nullified because the pitcher threw from the rubber, that's also legal because he's making an appeal.
