B1 backs out of the batter's box, but F2 retrieved the ball quickly and R1 does not come home. As F1 walks back to the plate area, she (or her coach) asks you to appeal the check swing.

1. If you are the PU, would you appeal? Yes? No?

2. If you were my partner, and you thought the checked swing went too far, would you call strike? Yes? No?

The reason I am asking this is that B1 stayed at home due to the BALL call. If the call is changed to a strike, B1 has no chance to advance and is tagged out by F2 at the plate. By appealing, and risking a change to a strike, are we puting the offense at a disavantage?

OK, IF this is ASA or Fed ball, I am not going to my partner. My response is "Catcher, I had a great look at that one. There was no swing."
In college ball, I go to my partner & we have whatever my partner has.
If I'm the BU, you get whatever I saw every time you come to me.
