Because Gasso and others are just using it as a strategy because they get a certain number of appeals. Wipe out a grand slam for a runner being 6 inches off a base when no umpire saw it in real time? No thanks. And especially for a home run. How did the runner leaving early affect the result in any manner? She jogged home a 1/2 second earlier? The penalty is way disproportionate to the offense.How would that be different from a situation where a grand slam was reversed because a base umpire made the same call?
