Question
Guest Dan
With bases loaded and two outs, a batter hits a single. The runners advance and the runner on third base scores an apparent run. The defensive coach calls time out and takes the ball from his pitcher to replace him with a new pitcher. After the new pitcher warms up, the umpire calls to resume play. The new pitcher appeals that the runner from third base never touched home and throws the ball to the catcher. The umpire rules that runner was out and the half inning ends.
I believe the rule states that an appeal has to happen before the next play but it's unusual for a manager to handle the ball and a player to leave the field. Is an appeal after the manager takes the ball, changes pitchers and has the pitcher warm up still valid?

Think about the pine tar game. It was restarted with am appeal with a different pitcher and different umpiring staff. Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2
