Get some balls... make the call
As pointed out by DavidB, this needs to be pregamed with any new partner. There is a lot of crappy training out there and this is a myth that is very prevalent - the BU can't judge a check swing unless he's behind 1st. As promulgated here and at good training camps, that myth is WRONG. Your partner can tell and he can make that judgement.
I tend to rarely ask because I nearly always call them from behind the plate "YES! You went." I recommend you practice that statement and use it often.
They only ask when you call a ball so try your best to avoid the situation by calling strikes.
This is another great advantage of the Gerry Davis stance - you rarely get blocked by the catcher.
