I believe that we have all advocated using the mehanics that befit the level of play and are appropriate to the situation. No one has suggested that in a two man system, with men on base, that the plate umpire would have a perfect view of it. However, he may have glanced over and witnessed the illegal act. In that instance, it behooves the amateur umpire to assist his partner - especially when asked.
