don: It was unfortuante, unprofessional,
and uncalled for. Whether you were right or
wrong in your mechanics, your partner did not
handle things correctly by yelling out at you
and embarassing you (and making himself look
like a jerk).
Having a good pregame talk can help iron out
some situations and how you will each react.
Also, sometimes you can signal to each other
to show intent. But, at the very least, a
private conversation after a mixup is much
better than what your partner did. Becoming
angry and defensive makes matters worse.
On that particular play, in the mechanics we work
here, BU would have that call at 3B because the PU
stays home (with runner on 2B). Unless BU hears,
"I've Got Third!" it's his call. Clearly, you and
your partner were not on the same page.
