Reply to "Double Play?"

Not sure I agree unless that is actually a defined rule.

by definition an appeal is a request for a review. There is no such review in this situation even though the out is obvious.

Now if there is question as to if the runner left before or after the catch, then an appeal can be made and handled as such.

I'm looking at this from the perspective of an assumed out. Scorekeepers are usually not to assume any out on the field and this concept carries through to things like earned runs, attempted double plays (bad throw on the transfer is still just a fielders choice in most cases).

I think you see what I mean (at least I hope so).

But then again it is very possible I am wrong but if I am, is there somewhere in the rules where this is addressed?
