There is no appeal on a strike called, period.

There's also the story Ron Luciano told in one of his books. Working with Emmett Ashford at first, Ron called a swinging strike on a check-swing. When the offensive manager told him to get help, Ron did, and Emmett affirmed the call. Luciano's response to the manager? "There- now you've got it in black and white."

I know how most here feel about Luciano, but that was his take on the sitch.

If it's ruled a strike, it's a swing, not a check-swing. Can't appeal what it isn't.

Or something.
