OK,
Here's what I would say:
Just because I have a different angle than my partner does not mean what I saw was interpreted correctly by my mind.
I have a partner that I expect to get "their" calls. If we are talking rules or an over the fence homerun "is it fair/foul" question that is one thing.
But the other side is:
I do not know ANY upper level umpire that would even offer an opinion on a simple steal of third if the PU "appeared" to miss the call.
If I was the BU I would live with my call, if I was a a PU I would NOT expect even a question to be asked.
I still beleive that sometimes you still "just have to umpire!"
