Thanks Tom, someone said last year they though the change was coming. I agree it should not be a big deal but when they took the auto call away on a missed base and put the appeal in it drove some of the coaches crazy telling their players to step on the rubber step off now ask him. Hey man we are not playing baseball, just ask somebody.

In 23 games, our team didn't make any appeals this year under the new rule. (And usually we have at least one a year).

I agree with softball junky - this is a lot easier than before when our coach would tell the pitcher to ask for time, step and the rubber, step off the rubber, and throw to the base being appealed.
