Don't we just love it when an umpire says "not my call."
What he really means is "I don't really know the rule regarding that play and I wasn't really watching so I'll just blame it on my partner."
It its not his call then he should have stayed at home.
And certainly don't say yeah its a balk and my partner didn't call it.
Ugh. Smitty lives again.
Thanks
