Both of you are blowing everything out of proportion... but the main BOGUS argument is that all judgement calls are hte same and this idea if you change a call you have to change them all! You can keep arguing that, but no one has ever said that...
Hes only saying that in the right situation it can be OK to change one... changing his argument into "well that means you have to change all the ball and strike calls from the field" is just an absurd arugment...
More argument problems:
"Well, if I have to have you do this, what the hell was I doing on the play?"
-Ok so you get them all right and see everything all the time? Must be nice...
"So you are always watching what they see and their positioning?"
-Nope, another bad argument... but if I am watching and see something different from my angle.....
"No matter what the call, you should change a call"
-He never said that
"because you feel that your judgment is better than your partner's."
-No one said that either... I'm not sure what your arguing but it doesn't have much to do with what we're talking about... no one said change a call because you think your a better judge... he said change it if we see something different that could influence the call.
"But you guys want to call everything all over the field to "get it right.""
-Didn't say that either, again ONE turned into ALL
"And if I cannot get in position to make most calls on pulled feet and dropped balls, what the hell am I looking at?"
-Can you teach me how to get into this "perfect" position to see everything that could possibly happen? If theres a close tag play at second and the fielder rolls towards the left side and the ball falls out, the 3rd base ump sees it fall out, then the player grabs the ball back in his glove first, did I miss the call for being out of position? Should I have knocked the player over to see if the ball was on the ground or not?
These arguments are pretty bad statements... but I agree that your both blowing it out of proportion on both sides of it...
