This is where Rollie was with his gem today, "Let Mikey try it, or A New Mechanic?"
I have never read such drivel. The pendulum has certainly begun to swing too far when some guys are advocating changing a partner's call based on what he saw.
Bu calls a guy out at 1st and Mr. Wilderbeast is advocating rushing in to change it. Advocates intercepting the coahc to protect BU.
In a word, insanity. Another, trouble. Another, ejections.
I haven't writen for a while, but I had to refute this very poor piece of advice. Hopefully Carl will post it Monday. I would hate to see some young ump try this insanity.
Sh!t, if PU is calling them at first, why not BU just call balls/strikes from first?
Here is good advice. Get your a$$ into position and make the call. If you are PU and THINK you saw it differently, keep your mouth shut. Your partner will come to you if he needs/wants help.
