I think that implies a runner at 3rd.

- I should have been clearer. I was in C with runners on 1st and 3rd.
- After the game, my partner did indeed clarify that the call was batting out of order. We had no real time to discuss because both of us were off to another field.
- Beyond the misapplications, I wondered what the mechanics would have been if I did go in to talk to my partner. Runner has to return to first because of improper appeal? Say no words to the defensive coach when he asks what's happening? Or just say "that was an improper appeal" ? In those few seconds I had to put the pieces together, doing nothing seemed like the least intrusive thing to do.

Just tell the coach he cannot make that appeal.

Still doesn't make sense for the batter who actually batted to be called out. What am I missing?
