Walt - I don't know why I've struck a chord.
I've said if PU was unsure if the batter swung, then he should always get help.
I do not agree that it is a good idea to ask for an appeal to another umpire when the original, calling umpire knew he was right. We wouldn't do it in any other sitch, but the rules say we do it in this one. Why? I'm still not sure.
It has nothing to do with my ego or manhood being challenged as PU. If I think my partner may have information I didn't have, I'm always glad to get it. I don't see how all check swings fit this bill though.
I'll fade into the sunset, we're just talking in circles.
