I have yet to see a dead ball appeal in a FED game since that rule was instituted, but I've seen many live ball appeals in that same time frame. Coaches don't read rule books.

Since the rule was put in place, I have had ONE appeal made by a Visiting coach on a runner missing third base.

I upheld the appeal. The HC and I had a discussion about who is allowed to appeal, what and when.

The HC wanted to protest and I informed the HC that in the state of Ohio protests were not allowed. After a few more words the HC went to his dugout.
