So the response to the requesting coach would be: You can't request appeal on a pitch that I called a swinging strike. I suppose this should be pregamed esp if you're working w/ somebody new or "suspect"

This would be about number 4768 on my list of things to pre-game. Heck, you may as well pregame "I signal outs with my right hand -- how do you do it?"

when he began arguing your called strike on the swing, he is now arguing balls and strikes. What he should have added is... well now coach that is balls and strikes and were not discussing it any further, you can return to your bench or leave.

Like most here, I'm going to say "Yes he did" while pointing at the batter if I rule a check swing a strike. If the coach starts asking me if it's on the pitch or the swing, I might just reply back that he will see me indicate it if its on the swing. Hopefully that will put that nonsense to rest.

official rule for this
From OBR:
Rule 9.02(c) Comment: The manager or the catcher may request the plate umpire to ask his partner for help on a half swing when the plate umpire calls the pitch a ball, but not when the pitch is called a strike. The manager may not complain that the umpire made an improper call, but only that he did not ask his partner for help. Field umpires must be alerted to the request from the plate umpire and quickly respond. Managers may not protest the call of a ball or strike on the pretense they are asking for information about a half swing. Appeals on a half swing may be made only on the call of ball and when asked to appeal, the home plate umpire must refer to a base umpire for his judgment on the half swing. Should the base umpire call the pitch a strike, the strike call shall prevail. |

If PU has seen a swing then this cannot be appealed. |

I don't cover everything possible in pregame but this I cover.."I am automatic on check swing requests, if they ask, I ask so be alive wherever you are. If I missed a strike I want it back so give me what you got."
