Even more important than the appeal rule is common sense here...
As an umpire don't make a call that no one else knows what is going on. If F3 is casually throwing the ball back to F1 and the Plate Umpire comes up selling a great big out call... Everyone will be wondering what the heck was that? Be ready to make the call... upon proper appeal. But if you make it without being requested and no one understands what you are calling... one of the coaches is going to be screaming... and one is going to be laughing at you. Fans and players will be confused. And you will have put yourself in the hotseat. Don't make that call unless a proper appeal is made.
