Accidental appeal after IW fourth out?

[greymule]

Freix: I'll look, but for now all I remember is that it was in one of the posts positing outrageous calls an umpire would have to make regarding accidental force plays. Somebody asked about whether intentional walks nullified future accidental force plays, and somebody else got an unequivocal "no" from a Fed official. Or maybe it was appeals, and we extended it to force plays. I'll try to find it, but I can't spend time on that at the moment. Must have been a few days before the time this thread started.

I hope that before this rule is sent to oblivion, I get to call it just once, preferably in one of its most preposterous incarnations. Of course, I hope the score is 13 to 4 in the 7th, and the call goes against the team in the lead (and they're the visitors).
