Well, if I'm PU in SP and there's a bam-bam play at third, but I'm not sure if the there's a pulled foot, I have no troubles asking across the BU across the field, "did you see him pull his foot?" His angle on the play can be a lot better than mine, even though I hustle my rear off.

As long as the BU and I have cleared this before the game, I see no problem with doing this during live ball. Heck, I had to do it twice last night in a game where the bags were so dirty, you could hardly distinguish them from the field! But for other things, get as much out of earshot as possible (without walking to the outfield fence), talk it over *quietly* with your partner, then let the umpire whose decision it is make the proper ruling.

I say there aren't two teams on the field every night. There are three: home, away, and the officials.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
