However, if a swing is called a strike, usually not reversible.

USUALLY? There is no appeal on a strike call. Only the defense may ask for help on a checked swing called a ball.

I don't write true/false rules tests, so I don't say always or never.

That's a cop-out. There is no appeal on a checked swing strike call.

A means I'm fooling around.

I didn't say "appeal on a checked swing strike call", I said "not reversible", trying to provoke discussion.

Coach, you must not have seen me signal the strike. She clearly made an attempt. You even said so yourself; you told her to run!
