The ump cannot say anything until an appeal Q.: There is some confusion about when the umpire erroneously teams every reasonable opportunity to determine the result: 1) I is made or a pitch (legal or illegal) occurs and closes the “appeal calls "foul ball".

I believe the thinking here is that the runner is as a catch then be counted? Would a simultaneous or after the call catch "presumed" to have touched after he passes home plate, and by See Baseball Q & A's, page 23 be nullified? My interpretation is when the umpire calls "foul ball", the ball is dead. Any prior action would be counted. There seems to be some con- fusion as to when the ball actually becomes dead. A.: I'm perfectly comfortable with what the rule book says...once you open your mouth it's too late. Anything which precedes the audible "call" - STANDS (I agree with you).
