Thumbs up You are making my point.

Garth,

This has been my point the entire time. How are we supposed to know the non-calling umpire is right? I think we all can think of situations where we basically "screw the pooch" on a call. If my partner comes to me I would have no problem changing a call that I am very unsure about. But if I was in great position and can describe in detail what I saw, my partner should not be telling me otherwise on what is a judgment call. Now if we are not applying a rule properly (awarding the wrong number of bases) or we need further information to make a final call, that is in my opinion and always has been type of calls you need to "get right."

Peace
