IP and Missed Base

[MD Longhorn]

I believe you guys are reading more than I intended into my statement. I was replying to the OP. The question from the coach is in passing as he's finishing up a conversation with BU. I don't think that's nearly as clear as an appeal - and sounds more like fishing. Maybe I'm reading more into the IP than was there. But my intent was not "jacking around with the coach". I would say that if the coach called time, came out of the dugout directly to me and said the same thing, my reaction would be different - this is MUCH more obviously an appeal.
