Patrick, you do a fantastic job.
I like these reviews. Most of us will never, (or rarely), encounter any of these situations, but seeing them ahead of time gives us time to think about them so that when, (and if), we see a similar play, we will be better prepared to render a good, accurate decision quickly.
Thanks again for an excellent video, as usual!
I've been doing games 6 or 7 days a week and I come here everyday. Thanks for all the study guides. They're invaluable
I too am thankful for these videos. One clarification would be helpful though. If a batter-runner misses first base, is it a race to see if the batter runner returns to first before an appeal is made. If a following runner is scored, I believe the runner could return to first and still be called out on appeal. But if no runner is on, what happens then? The first base umpire referee magazine says to make a safe call (assuming the batter-runner beats the throw or tag), then wait for an appeal. In other words, I believe case play number 3 here needs some additional explanation.

What has me thinking. What if this happens? R3, 1 out. B4 hits a line drive and clips F5. The ball remains in flight, R3 tags up third after F5 is clipped and then immediately proceeds to home, F7 catches the ball in flight. F7 then throws the ball to F5 to appeal the R3 leaving early.

In your case #8, if saw that, I would call time immediately after the action stopped. I would call R2 out for unsportsmanlike conduct "cheating" followed by ejection for making a mockery of the game. The head of the team would receive a warning.
Regarding Caseplay 8, I've been instructed that we are to call out and eject a player who does what's shown in the inset video, and it's not an appeal play. I answered the question "wrong" on the grounds that if we don't call him out and eject him when he does it, then we've accepted what he did as an ordinary missed touch, thus the touch on the way back cured it and the appeal would be denied. I wasn't aware of a caseplay making this an appeal play, until now:
Hey Patrick.... I have a question about a ball thrown out of play during an appeal. I can't seem to get a definitive answer from my rules guy on our NFHS board. I
What rule supports calling a runner out for an intentional missed base. You can't tell a coach "because the casebook says so". They don't get casebooks.
Slooowwww down Patrick.
Case play # 7 is amazing. In case play # 8 I’m calling R-2 out and ejecting him for cheating
