As a crew, what a partner does, reflects on both. That being said, sometimes we are in a sitch where we just have to make the best of it.
I think I would have politely told BU that I prefer to work w/ BU in right field between innings as it "interferes w/ my focus" or some other BS to keep him away. I most certainly would not have put my mask in his ball bag and become part of the circus.....
