I have never dumped someone for ONLY speaking of my partners errors (preceived). I let my partners handle their own $hit. As I said: I am smart enough to get anyone I want (baited or otherwise).
Do what you want and I'll do the same.

There's no need to be flashing your credentials. I am familiar with you, Tee. There's no need to flash mine, either. We're both well-respected, well-known umpires. (Pro school twice? Not good enough the first time, eh?
Sorry, you opened yourself up to that. I still love ya though.)
Having said that, why do you always consider it an error if your partner rings up a batter? I surely never said it was. Again, if my partner does something normal in the course of his work and a player or coach does something that warrants an ejection but my partner simply didn't hear it, but I did, I'll eject with nary a concern.
BTW, in my meager 28 years of umpiring, I don't have nearly as many ejections as you do. A little trigger happy, are you.
