The only time that I see argument is when the umpire does NOT call a strike.
This is not even applicable to plays at first base. THe play at first is NOT a two umpire call. Its the BU's call. Make the call move on.
When I think he might have pulled his foot (happens every once in a while), I will quickly ask my partner "was his foot on the bag". He replies "yes", or "no", then I make the call.
This is not as hard as many umpires make it out to be.

I wholly agree with you. My post in this thread was just a little razzin of PWL. I'm waiting for the return fire (which, btw PWL, I seem to enjoy way too much)
