In the 'olden' days we could call a runner out for missing a base without an appeal.

And thank goodness those days are gone.

The defense has responsibilities, too.

I knew umpires, even in those days, who would ignore base running errors unless they heard someone grumbling or talking about them.

Probably a very appropriate approach.

I see several misses a year that never get appealed. One of the best rule changes I can remember from the FED.
