I would never overrule my partner ( even though it should never happen to be appealed ) on what he called as a swinging strike and change it to a ball. NEVER. Not if I want to work with him again or any other umpire in my association. I think those are our " ground rules " and I am sticking to them.
Sidenote: How can you " absolutely know " this is not a strike when your partner felt it was ?
Just curious.
