So is this abandonment or an appeal?

It looks like a simple force out at second.

Why is the BU at home plate?

Weird.

At 1:35, you can see a fielder standing with both feet on 2nd base, and a white object in his right hand. I think a reasonable guess is this was neither an appeal nor abandonment. It was a simple force out.

It could have been both. Or neither.

But, based on the video, they did get it right.

And, I think BU is at the plate to talk to the manager and to make sure that PU knew that the game wasn't over.

Or, maybe BU was running off and PU stopped him.

What in the world could the manager be arguing?

Neither... it's a force play at 2nd base. Surely you've seen someone throw out a runner at 2nd before they got there before.
