Question
Guest Kef
Runners on 1st and 2nd, ground ball hit to 3rd base towards SS side. 3B fields ball, turns body to throw to 1st base (BALL IN HAND), realizes runner is coming to 3rd. Turns and chases runner to apply tag. Tags runner with glove but ball is still in fielders hand, no where near the glove. Field umpire calls runner out. 3B coach wants appeal to home plate umpire. Home plate ump says you can not appeal unless field ump asks. Field ump refuses to even talk to home plate umpire for a second opinion. Home plate umpire says there are only 3 appealable calls, 1)fly ball catch 2) foot off the bag 3) and a TAG play. Is this correct? And if this is correct, why couldn't this play be appealed?
