Well, it seems pretty unanimous so far. I would only go to my partner if the coach gave me some information I didn't have, like a pulled foot, dropped ball .... If it's just a judgement call, like the others, I'm probably going to talk to the coach, explain what I saw and stick with the call. There's no need in going to a partner for help unless the coach says something happened that you were unaware of. Some talk was given to whether your partner was in position or not to help you. I always make the call, finish up with the proper mechanics and immediately look at my partner and give the number of outs to him. This way I know if he's watching and can help or if he's taking care of other runners.
