Peter,
I was pretty sure that only myself, the batter, and maybe the catcher heard it. I played it off like I didn't hear it, hoping anyone else who may have heard it would think I did not. I didn't acknowledge by body language in any way that I heard it.
As far as my partner, he was at third in case F7 went to third on his throw for a play there. R2 was halfway to third when the play at the plate evolved ( my partner told me this later ), which is why my partner was late in getting there on my behalf. He said he was as shocked as I was when he looked up and saw the coach near the plate so quickly. Had no time to intervene, which he said he felt he shouldn't unless it escalated. That could be another thread.
Anyway, thanks for the input.
