Question on appeal play

He did it properly the first time and you should have called the runner out. There is no requirement to "get set on the mound."

Under every code except Federation, the appeal can only be made when the ball is live. If the ball has become dead, then the only way for a proper appeal is for the pitcher to be on the rubber with the ball, and for the umpire to put the ball in play.

In your situation, the ball was still live, so there was no requirement for the ball to go to the pitcher.

BTW - there is no requirement for the pitcher to step off either.

Finally, I hope you scored the run.

He didnt do it properly

OBR and it's still a live ball?
Ball came in from D8 to F1, F1 threw to F4?
F4 tags the bag and say's "he left early"?
He's out.
If R3 scored before the appeal, score it.
If not, no run.

If time was out and F1 threw to F4 whom etc. etc.
then no call would be correct, "we have time" is what I'd say.

And once ball was put properly back in play, I'd a allowed the appeal. Sorry skip, "time was out the first time." No play, no blown appeal.


What Dash is saying is on the $$.

thanks guys.....i definitely scored the run from 3rd. as u guys know it seems like in baseball more than any sport u always seem to see something u have never seen before. to sum up time WAS out when pitcher tossed ball to 2nd and i did a no call. he then went to rubber stepped off and tossed to 2nd and i called runner out but said run still scored from 3rd. thanks again...im sure ill be back again soon haha

No need to run off. Your OP was missing an important piece of info (The ball was dead). You can't fault those who answered if you leave out critical information.
