Partner not allowing proper appeal

[bluezebra]

...rule on weather...

1..What did the weather have to do with whether or not a runner missed a base?

2..Coach: "Number 5 missed 2B".
Blue: "Coach, I don't look for numbers. Which runner missed 2B, the first or second"?

3..Your partner was a schmuck.

Bob,
you're pretty close, the appeal went something like:

Coach:"Hey Blue #5 missed 2nd base."

Blue: "You have to properly identify exactly which player you're appealing. Since you errored in your 1st attempt, you have lost your right to appeal"

I don't know if ducking out of this was the right thing to do. Partner is misapplying a rule (or making one up entirely) - and you have the obligation to correct the situation. This is not simply a judgement call that you have to hold your tongue on - it's a rules misapplication.

Pop up to CF. CF juggles, catches and throws home. BU rules that since CF juggled the ball, there is no out on BR. You'd fix that, wouldn't you? Same thing in the initial sitch.

Before tackling it, though, and before even intimating to partner that you might be doing so, I'd ask - "Just so I know ... did she actually miss the base or not?"
