Did Votto ever throw to 3rd base or was he called automatically out because he was in the dugout?

Where are all the naysayers who pronounced doom and gloom on this game earlier on?
“I think I throw the ball as hard as anyone. The ball just doesn't get there as fast.” — Eddie Bane
“We know we're better than this ... but we can't prove it.” — Tony Gwynn
I was reading analysis of the play somewhere else, this is where the whole appeal play rule factors in. It’s been years since I’ve heard it mentioned, but I’m guessing that’s part of the reason Votto was signaling toward the home plate ump? From what I was reading if the Reds hadn’t appealed to the ump, the run would’ve still counted basically.

This might get me banned but I don’t care anymore.
If you doubted the Reds today, or any day, delete your account. This is RedsZone not RedsDoubt.

I believe that if "time" has not yet been called, i.e., the play is still live and ongoing, no appeal is necessary. Joey makes the throw to third and the ump should make the call. IF time has already been called, Joey would have had to ask for the appeal after "time" had resumed.
