Hmmmmmm,
Dave:
I always have a problem when one umpire sez:
"My partner obviously missed the call!"
After working for more than three decades in all levels of baseball where players are of shaving age I have seen strange things -- however, I am not sure that each umpire is the best judge of what the other umpire sees and calls.
Several things happen during a game (and a call) that influence things . . . just because the "view" from your area "seems" to be giving a different sample of information it DOES NOT mean what you have seen is correct.
You can believe it in your heart all you want BUT WHAT MAKES YOUR VIEW CORRECT?
If a partner doesn't ask, it is your job to let things finish . . . be available to give input if asked but other than that keep to yourself.
Those that want to jump on the "get the call right at all costs" USUALLY mean a rule or the setting aside of information, NOT just seeing and disagreeing with the call.
