Keep Quiet?

We all know that stepping on our partners call is very poor decorum to say the least. However tonight, I really think I should have said something and failed to do so.

Babe Ruth seniors. R1 and R3. F1 assumes the rubber in the windup. He sets his hands above chin level and my partner balks him for it, scoring the tying run in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The coach comes out to get an explanation from my partner and the discussion gets pretty heated. No one asked me to help, so I remained quiet. They continue to argue and the coach gets himself tossed by my partner.

Of course in an OBR based game this is not a balk, but my partner made it clear to the coach that's what he was balking his pitcher for. My question is should I have stepped up and headed off the ejection and potential protest when I knew this guy was wrong on his call?



Tim.
