Beating myself up about this one...

We did have a pregame - but next time I will add this sitch in.

I was waiting for the catcher to appeal because I figured he would, not because I thought he went. If I thought he went, I would have rang him up right there.

I am really trying to make sense of this?

If you did not see the attempt, which happens, then how in the world would you be expecting the catcher to appeal? Maybe he didn't see it either which seems obvious because he had to be told to throw to first.

Did your partner call him out for the attempt or for not reaching first before the throw. Was there a runner on first? How many outs? Did the batter have a right to go to first on a dropped third strike?

Missing the attempt is not all that bad, it happens.

But it is hard to give you our opinion, if were not given all the info.
