My pet peeve is an partner who will not give me the information for which I am asking.
If a team asks me to check with my partner on a pulled foot or dropped ball and it is a valid request, I do not appreciate my partner telling me about the young lady in the stands or a play on the next field.
I have had umpires do this to me for the sole purpose of not giving me any information which would result in reversing a call. How do I know? They were dumb enough to tell me!
