The plate umpire is REQUIRED to help the base umpire?
Required in the sense that you and watch for this. C'mon you know what I meant.
REQUIRED? What if he doesn't ask? Do you run out and yell, "no, no, I've got a pulled foot."
Of course not. Even though you called out and the foot was pulled I say nothing unless asked. However you wouldn't ask and I'd have to help you eject players and Coaches.

No, I didn't know what you meant. I did read, however, what you said.
Now that I understand what you meant, the answer is easy. The mechanic exists so that the PU can offer help IF the BU needs it. Nothing there that contradicts Tee's thinking and practice. He simply hasn't needed the help.
