A Short Course in the Appeals Process

Oh, not a legal post. Oh, no. This is a Detroit Tigers post. Seems that a run scored before an appeal play that registers the third out of an inning counts. Who knew?

The answer to that (admittedly) rhetorical question is Jim Leyland, the best manager in the game today.

That was the most insane play I've ever seen. And by "seen" I mean, "heard," since we were listening to it on the radio. Anyway, as with other cases "like" this, the timing of the run scoring matters unless the third out is a force.

The run scoring outcome was actually pretty intuitive if you think about it. If you read that story you linked, what lost them the game was not the rule itself, but the apparent missed call on the original tag. The kind of thing that happens all the time.
