Well I have missed a tag standing 4 feet away, it happens, and I am sure it will happen again.

I know the swipe tag on a runner on third when you are the PU coming up the line is a AWFUL call to make. I will ask the BU for help on that with no reservations.

I also hate the BU rotating home and I do not use it.
Get in position and make the call. The call is not "awful" if you let the throw take you to the right position.

I would never ask a partner for help on this one. I can't imagine an umpire actually doing this, to be honest.
