In this situation you have the batter going all the way around so what are you watching? In the same breath, I do NOT MAKE the call. I get with my part and I tell him what I saw and let him make the call.
But never would I ever hang him out to dry like that. I would rather get together with him and tell him he missed the play by a mile and had to eat it, but no one else would EVER hear it.

Hang my partner? He is pointing at me to make his call from 60'+ without any possible angle, when he is supposedly taking this runner going all the way around and ending roughly 10' away in supposedly perfect position 90 degrees to the tag, so what was he doing and what is he watching? Who exactly is hanging whom if he points at me then? What possible credibility can the PU have to make the initial call on this play from his position? What could the BU be thinking (other than let him hang with this) by pointing to the PU without making a call?
Make a call; then get together to see what the PU may have seen. Don't pass the buck without realizing YOU are hanging the PU; who might well refuse to bail you out. It isn't his call to make (or eat); it's YOURS. LinknBlue handled his responsibility properly (assuming he was the BU); he made his call, and, knowing he had a bad angle, asked his partner if HE saw a tag.
